Technical Cave Diver in Thailand: 9 dive centres on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say. 8 publish course prices.
TecDiveTools lists 9 dive centres teaching Technical Cave Diver in Thailand. 8 of them publish course prices, in the currency the shop advertises and with the date each was checked — not converted, and not estimated.
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). 6 of these 9 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, 7 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
Advanced technical cave diving to depths determined by your qualification limit using extended penetration and multiple gas switches for experienced overhead divers. Trains divers in complex decompression, multi-gas management in confined spaces, and advanced emergency procedures specific to cave environments. This is a gateway to elite underground exploration—deep cave systems, technical sumps, and expedition work.
Extended penetration line protocols and navigation, multi-gas management in confined overhead spaces, complex decompression planning and execution, emergency procedures in cave environments, silt management and buoyancy control in tight passages
The centres listed above teach IANTD Technical Cave Diver in 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.
9 dive centres on TecDiveTools teach IANTD Technical Cave Diver in Thailand: Phuket (3), Bangkok (2), Krabi (2), Koh Phangan (1) and Pattaya (1). Each is listed above.
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.
Published prices for IANTD Technical Cave Diver in Thailand range across 3 centres in the TecDiveTools directory. That is THB 59,000 (3 centres). Prices differ mainly in what they include, so compare the inclusions before comparing the numbers. Prices were last checked in September 2026.
At the same tier in TecDiveTools' cross-agency comparison, dive centres in Thailand also teach TDI Cave Decompression (2). They are comparable rather than interchangeable — each agency sets its own standards and card, so check which one your next course accepts.
