Testimonials:

Quote start Siggi (Deep Testimonial) I came to dive with Ban's Diving Resort after a friend recommended it to me. I came to Koh Tao and wanted to get some Specialty Instructor ratings so I could get my MSDT certification. I was also interested in doing some technical diving courses.

I came without making any special plans, just showed up. Everyone was very helpful and willing to make a schedule for me that could work. I ended up taking both my MSDT and the Tec Deep Diver course. The instructors are all very professional and helpful. They also run their operations on a personal level so you really feel like you are a part of the team. In the MSDT program I joined a team of other instructors who where doing the same training.

The Tec Deep Diver course which was eight days long was very demanding and challenging. I think that it will really benefit me as a diver and an instructor to have that experience and knowledge.

The best part was that they also offered two dives on the Unicorn wreck which really made the training more valuable and fun because you train to be a tech diver to be able to dive on wrecks. The tech course really broadens your experience as a diver and takes you to the next level.
