Tech Dive Asia
An independent technical, CCR, and cave diving training team based in Phuket, bringing together several instructor trainers under one banner rather than operating as a single walk-in shop. Offers open-circuit and sidemount technical diving, CCR/SCR training, cave diving, guided wreck and cave expeditions, and technical liveaboard trips across Thailand and South East Asia.

Consumables are usually extra. Sorb, helium, oxygen and other gas fills, cenote or marine-park entry fees, certification and registration fees, e-learning materials, and equipment or rebreather rental are commonly charged on top of a course price and are not always reflected above. Where a centre states what it excludes, that is noted on the item.
Course names are the centre's own — see their price list. Indicative only; confirm with the centre before booking.
