If you're ready to move in to Technical Diving, or are already there but want to go further with it, or even become an Instructor, we can help you out.
Besides getting you through training we're also very interested in keeping you diving. The question "I've done my tech course, what do I do now?" needs a good answer. We've got everything in place to get you out enjoying yourself on some fantastic dives, around Puerto Galera and on Dive Trips Asia wide.
First and foremost we are a TDI Facility and find that the range of courses and agency support for us, and for you as a diver, are excellent. If you are already in another system such as IANTD for example, we can also easily determine equivalency to allow you continue with your training here with us.
Likewise if you are comfortable with PADI, or are a PADI professional wishing to stay with them, we have all of the courses available other than rebreather.
For GUE Training we are a host facility where many instructors choose to hold their classes.
In simple summary, the course list looks like this:
There are other Specialties under TDI/SDI that we can cover but these are the core programs likely to be of interest to Technical Divers. More specific information on TDI courses can be found here.
Under PADI, we have everything technical on open circuit covered:
The PADI Tech information starts here. If you also would like to do some recreational diving or have a partner that wants to whilst you take a tech class, our partners Asia Divers are the people to talk to.
GUE courses are limited only by the Instructor you have chosen to teach you. Safe to say the entire curriculum can be taught at Tech Asia except the Cave Courses. Most commonly taught:
More of what you need to know about GUE Courses can be found here.

The legend who is Sam Collett!
This is the man who's taking me through all my Tech qualifications - one of the best instructors I've met, a man of few words, but a bloody nice chap!
If you are considering doing any kind of tech qualifications, I can strongly recommend you get over to Puerto Galera and have a chat with Sam.

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 :-)

The people are amazing. Dave the owner is very responsive via WhatsApp and is able to address all my concerns before choosing to do my course with Tech Asia. Logistics were also smooth with them. Sam is a strict instructor who gives very thorough pre-dive and post-dive briefings with useful, personalised directions on what to work on. After the first two dives of my AN/Helitrox course, he makes sure everyone takes up certain roles (eg deco captain) during dives to ensure we learn by leading. I really liked this “letting students lead” approach as it made me confident that I’ll able to take up the same responsibilities if I were to dive with other tech divers elsewhere. Tim is a funny guy who gave great instruction during my DPV course. He is also very helpful to teach me how to configure my newly bought regs
Location wise, the dive shop is 5-10mins boat ride for all my dives during my stay, making dives very comfortable without post-dive colds and seasickness — I didnt even need to bring my windbreaker and towel for the trip when I knew that the dive sites are thattt close.
As a halcyon distributor, the rental equipments are also halcyon and in great working condition.
Most of my dives were in 1-2 customers per group, with 3 customers during one of my dives. The small group really enhanced my dive experience
Will return for more!

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.
