Deep Planet Tech is a technical diving school based on Koh Lanta and Koh Tao, Thailand. Created to cater to the expanding market of technical diving,
we make use of training on one of Thailand's most beautiful islands (consisting
of Koh Lanta Yai and Koh Lanta Noi), and some of Thailand's best diving. You
have the opportunity to do technical diving with some of Thailand's most spectacular
marine life - mantas and whale sharks. We dont believe that technical diving
should always be done on the sand! On a technical diving course with Deep Planet Tech we guarantee diving at some of Thailand's best diving spots -
Hin Muang / Hin Daeng and Koh Haa, for no additional cost. you could also
become certified at Thailand's top diving destination - the Similan Islands.
As well as reasonably priced DSAT and TDI technical diving courses at Deep Planet Tech you can take advantage of Thailand's cheap food and accommodation
on one of Thailand's most beautiful and unspoiled islands. during your technical
diving course you can survive in basic accommodation for as little as 200
baht per day, right on some of Thailand's most stunning beaches. Thailand
is the perfect place to learn technical diving, particularly the island of
Koh Lanta, located in South West Thailand, home to the best diving Thailand
has to offer. If you choose a technical diving course with Deep Planet Tech,
you can currently choose from DSAT and TDI technical diving courses. Whats
the difference? Basically not much - both certification agencies certify you
as in technical diving, the only difference is that the courses vary very
slightly in skills performed and knowledge given. TDI have been around for
many years (its the oldest technical diving agency there is), providing quality
courses in technical diving. TDIs diving courses are very flexible, and allow
the instructor to throw in as many diving skills as he wishes (as well as
the core diving skills required), to ensure that the diving skills of the
student are of a high enough standard. The theory portion of the TDI technical
diving courses are also very flexible, with classroom presentations required
to be given by the instructor. The TDI course book gives vital information,
but most will come from the instructor. TDI technical diving courses are very
well tried and tested over the years and have proved to be some of the best
technical diving courses around. If you choose a DSAT technical diving course
you will have a manual that follows PADIs excellent past record in quality
training materials. the DSAT tech deep diver manual is extremely comprehensive
- so much so that if you choose, you can self study the entire theory portion
of the course. If your knowledge reviews are suitable then the only part of
the course you need to spend in the classroom is the exams - leaving you more
time for diving! Both DSAT tech deep exams are very intensive, and leave you
with a wealth of knowledge about technical diving. The diving part of the
course again follows PADIs track record, providing a rigid and well structured
diving course. TDI technical diving courses: TDI ADVANCED NITROX TDI DECOMPRESSION

air and trimix divers at Thailand's premier divespots - Hin Daeng / hin Muang

choice will depend on brand preference, performance capabilitiles, suitability
to the type of technical diving you will be doing and the water temperature.
Common
sense dictates that with technical diving, high performance first and
second stages in perfect working order are essential.
Regulators
commonly used in technical diving are made by Scubapro,
