Our Philosophy In Brief

“We teach Technical Diving, we do not sell certifications”. This sums up the Atlantis Tech philosophy. Emphasis is not placed on issuing certification cards; Atlantis will work with you, until you possess the knowledge, confidence and skills required at each level. The result is training that you won’t find at other dive stores.

We’re dedicated to making you the best diver that you can be.

History Of Atlantis Tech

Atlantis Tech was founded by expert deep diver John Bennett. John held the record for the deepest ever open ocean dive on scuba and was the first diver on scuba to descend past 1000ft/300m. An intense dedication to technical diving of all kinds led John to the top of his field, continually striving for more knowledge, understanding, and ability.

John moved on to pursue other opportunities overseas, though the current team remains comprised of his friends, colleagues and dive buddies, who began their technical diving careers at the same time and hold the same dedication to quality of education, and enthusiasm for technical diving and the boundless opportunities it offers. We don't teach just from books – real technical divers with real experience, and real passion for the ocean is what you will find at Atlantis Tech.

Why tech Diving?

As a tech diver you are trained to go beyond the limits of recreational diving.

Some enjoy the thrill of going to a site and realising that there may have been more people that have set foot on the moon than have dived where they are today. Not everyone has the need to go this extreme. Others enjoy the thrill of gliding effortlessly through the interior of a wreck and opening a drawer to see its contents still lying there in perfect condition.

On a more practical level, technical training allows you to extend your bottom times beyond the constraints of no decompression limits and spend useful, useable bottom time on dive sites of almost any depth. The skills learned in technical diving translate directly back to safer recreational diving, and improvements in buoyancy and technique can drop air consumption rates and enhance your diving experiences wherever your interests lie.

For many people the sheer enjoyment that you get out of diving increases exponentially as your skills in the water improve. Re-visit places like Truk Lagoon once you are tech trained and it will be a revelation, you will get so much more from your diving.
