We have something for everyone at Tech Asia, beginner or experienced, why not join us for some of the best diving in Asia?
I have asked Dave months ago for some guided dives with CCR and DPV so everything was well organized. Finally I had 8 really exciting DPV dives together with Sam. This area here offers dive sites with different topography so that you will never get bored. Thanks a lot Sam for your excellent guiding :-)
I did my TDI Sidemount course with them just last week. This was a course I wanted since my AOW.
Their service was amazing from the arrangements for transfer by Dave Ross and his staff, everything was smooth and stress free.
My instructor was Sam Collett and he was one of the best instructors I ever had. He advocates for a very hands on and practical training which is the best and fastest way to learn. He is highly experienced and knowledgable so he can always provide suggestions and alternatives for ways that skills can be done.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Tech Asia and will definitely return for further more advanced tech courses.
I have completed my Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures Diver courses in with Tech Asia in November 2023. I really enjoyed my time a lot (as far as one can say that in a tech dive course ;)). Joke aside, my instructor Tim Bloemeke did a great job in teaching me theory and practice. You could clearly notice that he has decades of experience which he shares with you extensively so you are well prepared. Within one week I have learned more than in six months before during other courses. Apart from that he also is fun to have a beer with! Dave is one of the owners who runs the shops operations. He is a very kind, grounded and reasonable person whom you can rely on and discuss all your needs with. All in all the message is clear - I will be back for my trimix course - see you soon guys!
I dove with Tech Asia a couple weeks ago (March 2024) and the experience/service/teaching was top notch from the beginning to the end. Dave helped me organize my trip and was always quick to respond via email/text. I trained with Tim for six days (intro to tech/decompression/heliox) and it was a A+ experience. He is a good communicator, patient, and he re-energized my passion for diving! I hope to go back later this year and continue my training and advance my skills. Finally, Sam, our dive leader on the fun dives, was also very good. He made me feel comfortable diving with more experienced people and his briefings were thorough. If you're thinking about getting into tech diving and going to the Philippines this is your place.
