You may start any time; more important are Dive Instructor Course dates, because you have to be at least 6 month Certified Diver, before entering final examination. We run Dive Instructor courses at almost every month in Pattaya.

Enrolling is very easy: first decide on location, then we will send you dates to start your course and we will create customized package, which may include a set of scuba equipment if you do not have you own, accommodation (in most locations we provide our interns with their own bungalow or apartment with hot water and air-conditioning for about $150/month.

Technical Diving Courses in Pattaya.

We are now offering the TDI Advanced Trimix Diver training. You can qualify to visit exciting underwater walls and ledges where no diver has gone before! Advanced Trimix will involve four dives in the 60 meter to 90 meter depth range using hypoxic Trimix with O2 Decompression. The course is 5-7 days in total, and you must be a Basic or Normoxic Trimix Diver or equivalent rating to join. Barcode Scuba is a Rebreather-friendly dive center. Bring your Draeger Dolphin or Buddy Inspiration Rebreather to us and we will supply you with soda lime, cylinders, and all the gazes you need to dive. We also conduct safe and well planned Technical Dive trips to 90m/300ft with ‘technical divemaster’ supervision, and ‘technical dive buddy’.

IANTD Advanced Nitrox Diver To get even more bottom time you can take the IANTD Advanced Nitrox course. In this course we teach you how to use a tank with 2 valve openings and 2 regulators (H Valve) for greater safety in the 30-40 meter depth range. If you blow an O-ring – No Problem! We also show you how to safely perform decompression dives. By using a gas mixture of 50% oxygen and 50% nitrogen you can do short, safe decompression stops. The nitrogen in your body from the dive will quickly be eliminated through your lungs. How about a 30 meter dive for 60 minutes searching for lost dive gear off the Hardeep?

Does exploring the superstructure of the Vertical Wreck appeal to you. The IANTD Intermediate (Normoxic) Trimix Diver course allows you to travel the entire 60 meters of the wreck. We do this by replacing the nitrogen in your tanks with helium. This new gas, Trimix, reduces nitrogen narcosis and enables you to think clearly at deeper depths. You can be at 60 meters and only feel the narcosis of a 30 meter air dive! All those unexplored vertical wreck rooms (and the 2 Giant Grouper) at 55 meters are now safely within reach! IANTD Instructor Training is available for qualified Instructors to Advanced EANX Level!
