Thailand is the perfect place to learn technical scuba diving and freediving, particularly the island of Koh Lanta, located in South West Thailand, home to the best scuba diving and freediving Thailand has to offer. If you choose a technical scuba diving and freediving course with Deep Planet Tech, you can currently choose from DSAT and TDI technical scuba diving and freediving courses. Whats the difference? Basically not much - both certification agencies certify you as in technical scuba diving and freediving, 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 scuba diving and freediving. 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 scuba diving and freediving 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 scuba diving and freediving courses are very well tried and tested over the years and have proved to be some of the best technical scuba diving and freediving courses around. If you choose a DSAT technical scuba diving and freediving 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 tec deep exams are very intensive, and leave you with a wealth of knowledge about technical scuba diving and freediving. The diving part of the course again follows PADIs track record, providing a rigid and well structured diving course.

Which technical diving program should I choose?technical diving at Hin Muang / Hin Daeng, Thailand

Programs from both TDI and DSAT will enable you to become a competent technical diver. However there are slight differences in the programs that may influence your choice between DSAT and TDI.

Your experience level
If you are a relatively new diver (Open Water certified and 25 dives logged) then TDI will be your choice.
You can start TDI technical diving courses with as few as 25 dives. DSAT courses require certification as Rescue Diver and minimum 50 logged dives.

Your brain
If you enjoy studying at home you may choose DSAT as all the theory can be done at home.
With TDI courses you can complete some theory at home and have classroom presentations by an instructor.

Time factor
Technical diving on deep wrecks on Koh Lanta, Thailand
Getting certified in technical diving is not something that should be rushed. DSAT Tec Deep Diver takes a minimum of 6 days. However we can certify you through TDI (Decompression Procedures) in as little as 4 days.

Depth factor
How deep do you want to go?

DSAT Tec Deep Diver certifies you to 50m. TDI Extended Range / Trimix goes to 60m. DSAT Tec Trimix goes to 75m
