Ivan Karadzic
Owner and Technical Instructor Trainer at Koh Tao Tec Divers
Ivan is a SSI / XR Technical Extended Range Instructor Trainer and Mikko is a TDI SF2 eCCR Air Diluent Decompression Rebreather Instructor (MOD2) as well as a XR Technical Extended Range Instructor.
Koh Tao Tec Divers was established in 2006 with one mission: to dive and explore the many historic wrecks in the Gulf of Thailand. Our passion for technical diving is what inspired us in the beginning and it continues to drive us today. Our continued search lead us to the position we have today, Koh Tao's premier destination for technical and sidemount diving. We pride ourselves in superior technical diving and sidemount training and in the long-term relationships we’ve built with our customers. People come back to Koh Tao Tec Divers because they know they’ll find what they’re looking in our relaxed atmosphere - a good challenge and a great time!
Koh Tao Tec Divers was established in 2006, as the technical diving department of Koh Tao Divers by Mikko Paasi and Ivan Karadzic joined the team in 2012. Today Koh Tao Tec Divers is a partnership between Ivan and Mikko, both very passionate technical diving educators.
Both are extremely passionate divers and are active in both wreck and cave exploration and part of the diving branch of Koh Tao Rescue, Koh Tao's non profit emergency service.
Koh Tao Tec Divers offers quality technical diving, sidemount, wreck, cave and CCR courses as well as technical, sidemount and CCR equipment both retail, rental and service.
We are located on the southern part of the beautiful Sairee Beach on Koh Tao, Thailand.
