Technical Dive Centre Thailand1

Ocean Zone Divers - Phuket's Premier Technical Dive Center

Ocean Zone Divers is located in Phuket, which is also referred to as the “Jewel of the South”. Ocean Zone Divers chose to establish itself in Chalong just a short distance from the pier in order to provide easy access to the dive boats main departure area. Surrounding beaches offer all that holiday makers can dream about including 5 star Hotels, fantastic shopping, great bars and discotheques and the absolutely delicious thai and western food. We are close to all the amenities needed when traveling such as banks, health care, taxi and car rental.

Just 30 minutes from Phuket Airport, transfers are easy to organize in conjunction with diver training, hotel booking or liveaboard trips.

Now with a second shop located in the Paradise Islands of Phi Phi, Ocean Zone Divers is the leading Technical Dive Center in Thailand. Our Phi Phi Branch is more specialized in overhead environments such as Caverns and Caves, but offers the same levels of training as the Phuket branch.

Andrew Fortune - Senior Technical IT

The operation is run by Andrew Fortune, currently an Instructor Trainer with TDI/SDI, CMAS *** Instructor (on the technical board), an Instructor Trainer with IANTD, and with PSAI. Andrew is also a Workshop Director with NAUI, MSDT, PADI and DSAT. Andrew has been teaching Technical diving since 1996 and has produced dozens of Technical Instructors around the world for many different agencies. He is also a member of the Xpedition (expedition) team and the Extreme Technical Dive Team, who are responsible for many world famous dive expeditions and is still an active commercial offshore diver and recently became an offshore supervisor.

Andrew has selected only the best instructors to teach diving and the standards are set high. At Ocean Zone Divers, we do not believe in buying certifications, they must be earned.

Phuket Dive Shop

Ocean Zone Divers is the only dive shop in Phuket to carry a stock of technical dive gear. We are the sole distributor for Oxycheq Dive Gear (specialist technical diving equipment) in Thailand. Ocean Zone Divers produces an exclusive line of Dive Wear (T-shirts, Sweat Shirts, Polos, Bags, Shorts, Bikinis and Neoprene related items). We can provide custom made blending systems (continuous or panels).

Although, Ocean Zone Divers specialises in tech diving (TDI, DSAT and CMAS), we also run the whole range of recreational courses for agencies such as PADI and CMAS. Here again, our instructors are very carefully selected. We believe that good education makes safer divers.

As well as technical dive gear we are a dealer for recreational dive kit and can supply from brands such as AQUALUNG, SCUBAPRO, SUNTO and UWATEC. Orders supplied normally within 24 hours.

Ocean Zone Divers' dive centers have full gas blending capacity and will blend any type of mix required for diving, nitrox diving or for your rebreather. Our station is fitted with continuous blending and partial pressure blending.
