Technical Diving - Introduction
RMS Technical's sister company Blue Marlin Tech is a division of Blue Marlin Dive, which is dedicated to providing quality TECHNICAL DIVER TRAINING, DAILY TECHNICAL DIVE CHARTERS, as well as TECHNICAL EXPEDITIONS to all corners of Indonesia.
Our aim is not only to provide a conducive environment for training but a facility where qualified technical divers can actually use their skills to dive the many wrecks and deep walls that the Gili islands and Indonesia have to offer.
We feel a gap exists in the dive industry as many places offer technical training to divers but few offer daily guided technical dives and technical live aboard expeditions. Our aim is to try and fill this gap in the industry.
WHAT EXPERIENCE DO WE HAVE ?
The founder of Blue Marlin, Simmon Liddiard, is a PADI Course director (cert. No. 64562) and has been an Instructor since 1986. He also holds the following I.A.N.T.D. Certifications: Nitrox Instructor Trainer-Trainer (#64), Technical Wreck Diver Instructor (#835), Normoxic Trimix Instructor (#229), Trimix Instructor Trainer (#835), Buddy Inspiration Trimix Instructor, and is a member of the IANTD Board of Advisors.
Blue Marlin Tech also has three other full time IANTD Instructors, who between them can teach up to technical diver level. We also have trained technical dive guides on hand to buddy with you if you visit us alone, or even to act as guides for buddy teams wishing to do fun technical dives.
Although we recommend all technical fun divers use their own equipment, we realise there are times that it may not be practical for you to bring everything with you. At the back of this brochure you will find an extensive equipment rental list, which will enable you to have a safe comfortable technical dive using only time tested, reliable brands. We also have a huge variety of tanks available, including 22lt isolation manifold twins, single 11lt, 8lt, 4lt and 3lt decompression tanks. All our boats are equipped with emergency oxygen, mobile hand phones and an extra supply of deco gas. We even have buddy inspiration closed circuit rebreathers for courses, rental and retail.
Our technical dive shop is fitted out with everything you could ever need, from quality regulators to custom hoses. A full description can be found in this brochure. You will find not only are our prices extremely competitive, we only stock technical equipment that through our extensive experience does the job it is supposed to do. This will save you time and money in the long run as you will not purchase dive equipment, only to find out later that it does not meet your requirements. Most of our equipment is specialised and you will not find it in your local dive store.
