Tech Dive Thailand (Davy Jones' Locker)
The technical diving department of Davy Jones' Locker (DJL) Diving on Koh Tao, running alongside the recreational centre and DJL Diving Koh Lipe. Training covers open-circuit technical and closed-circuit rebreather diving — Tech Deep, Trimix 65 and 90, and wreck and advanced wreck specialities — and DJL is one of the few schools on Koh Tao offering CCR training. Tech and wreck sites are reached from Koh Tao itself; cave diving runs as expeditions to the mainland, typically Song Hong and Khao Sok.

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.
