Full Cave in Koh Tao: 1 dive centre on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say.
TecDiveTools lists 1 dive centre teaching Full Cave in Koh Tao, Thailand.
Listings are ordered by how much evidence exists about their technical diving, not by a star rating, with any paid Featured listing shown first and marked as such (how rankings work). 0 of these 1 carry reviews we have read and classified as being about technical or overhead training. The count excludes recreational certifications by name, so a busy resort does not outrank a one-instructor cave operation on the volume of its reef trips. Separately, 0 have at least one instructor whose reviews we have read and summarised — a dive centre carries no synthesis of its own. How we read and count reviews.

About the course
Full Cave is the core cave-diving certification — it removes the depth/distance limits of Intro to Cave and covers complex navigation, multiple gas switches, team procedures, and emergency response across jumps, circuits, and traverses in a real cave system. It's for divers who've completed Intro to Cave and want unrestricted cave access rather than the conservative penetration limits that course imposes. It's the milestone most cave-training progressions are built around: everything after it (DPV Cave, Stage Cave, Cave Decompression, cave surveying) assumes Full Cave as a baseline. No fixed depth — cave dives are limited by gas planning and distance from the exit rather than a stated maximum depth; the course itself runs over 8 dives and 240 minutes of accumulated bottom time in real cave systems.
The centres listed above teach TDI Full Cave in Koh Tao, Thailand. Requirements are set by the agency, not the centre, so they are the same wherever you train — what differs is price, class size and how much diving is included.

Thailand's caves are a step up from showcase training systems: Khao Sok's limestone caves and the deep sinkholes of Sra Keow near Krabi and Song Hong in Trang combine depth with overhead, and see far fewer divers than the Yucatán. They suit divers who want to build cave skills in more challenging conditions — and Phuket, Krabi and Khao Sok keep a cave course within reach of a beach holiday.
At the same tier in TecDiveTools' cross-agency comparison, dive centres in Koh Tao, Thailand also teach ANDI Full Cave (1). They are comparable rather than interchangeable — each agency sets its own standards and card, so check which one your next course accepts.
