TDI Full Cave Diver Course in Phuket, Thailand

5 days - 50000 baht

This course is the final part of training in the TDI’s Cave Diver development program. Advanced cave dive planning (traverses, circles), the practical execution of different types of cave systems and scenarios divers encounter are presented.

 

The Full Cave Diver course is not intended to prepare divers for evaluating all facets of cave diving. The objective of the training is to expand previous skills obtained during TDI Cavern and Intro to Cave Diving courses. Emphasis is placed upon dive planning and skill perfection through actual cave penetration.

​

During five day training student divers will complete a minimum of eight dives. The course is conducted in the caves of Souther Thailand in Krabi and Nakhon Si provinces. Normally we dive in Spider Cave, Sra Keow, Klang and Song Hong caves during the course.
