Tek in Asia

[erwin.kodiat]

Is there anyone here having experience of doing Tek diving Instruction in Asia specifically Indonesia. I'm interested to have a Tek Diving certification, especially since I'm interested to do the deep dive.

Regards

met a couple of guys Tek diving out of Singapore last week - if that helps let me know and I'll dig up their emails

Preferably Bali, but it seems that only 1 dive center in Bali offer Tek course, so Singapore would be good, as well. Thanks

Too lazy to do a web search ???

Lombok
Blue Marlin Dive Centre on Gili Tragawan

Tioman
B&J Dive Centre

Singapore
Khoo Soo Seng

Philippines (Puerto Galera)
Atlantis Divers

All cover IANTD courses from beginner through to at least Trimix Diver.

Websites & emails should not be too difficult to find

Cheers,
Andy

Thanks, it's not about laziness, but I want to have a recommendation based on other diver experience, I did search the web and found many in Singapore as well as Lombok, but it's better to have a recommendation from other who has experiences with that. Anyway, thanks a lot for your info.

I guess I should have read your post a little closely - my apologies.

I have done some training and a lot of diving with Ben and JC at the B&J Dive Centre on Tioman. They are friendly and definitely know what they are doing. On the tech side, they teach the stuff they are actually doing themselves which has to be a good thing.

JC in particular is well-known in the cave diving community.

I would highly recommend them and Tioman in general since there are a number of wrecks in the area at 50-80m (Repulse, Prince of Wales, Seven Skies).

I have met Khoo Soo Seng who is the IANTD rep for much of South East Asia, but have never dived or trained with him. Others who have say good things, particularly about his thoroughness and flexibility in scheduling classes.

At the end of this month, I will spend a week at Blue Marlin on Gili Tragawan so should be able to comment on their set-up after that.

No problem, Andy :) , I really appreciate your info, I also found that Bali already have a dive center with IANTD instructor ()BIDP (http://www.bidp-balidiving.com) .

They already graduated some technical divers here.

Anders,
My home base is in Pattaya which is about 2 hours south of Bangkok by car. I do travel to Phuket on occasion.

Hi,

Contact DiveMasters, the Aqua Lung Distributors, who have a shop in Bali, as they sell tech gear and teach tech diving.
