The maximum depth limit for recreational diving is 40m, this is for everyone from open water through to instructor.

Tec Deep Diver Course

The Tec Deep Diver course will train you to dive to 55m, and the skills and knowledge will allow you to dive to this depth. These skills and knowldege include use of Advanced Nitrox, decompression procedures and extending no-decompression limits using Nitrox/100% Oxygen.

Our Tec Instrcutor is Brendon (also our Course Director), and he has done 100's of tec dives around Thailand.

600m walls on Bunaken

There are four good reasons to Tec Dive aorund Bunaken:

  1. The walls around Bunaken Island drop to more than 600m
  2. The dive sites are only 5-10mins from the resort
  3. The viz is 20-25m even at the 50-70m depths
  4. Bigger fish like large sharks & mantas may be found in the colder water at 55-70m depths

The water temperatures around Bunaken is 29-30oC and this is very good for the reef life - Bunaken Island is considered to be one of the most diverse marine envrionments on the planet. However, the larger animals such as larger shark & manta's like colder water. There are occasional sightings of these animals by our guests so they are here, and we believe that they are more likely to be found at the deeper levels 55-70m where the water is colder (25oC).

We also think that there are deep-water pinnacles and submerged islands which may offer some fantastic diving, and we will be doing some exploration of the area to find them - no one has ever done this type of exploration before!
