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:

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.
