CCR and Technical Diver Training with Black Water Tek
Founded by world-record diver Will Goodman, Black Water Tek delivers world-class CCR and technical diver training across Indonesia, Egypt, and beyond. We combine premier destinations with distinctive itineraries, giving divers the chance to apply their skills in real exploration.
At Black Water Tek, inclusivity is central — regardless of gender, race, training organisation, or certification level, all technical divers are welcome. Here, we dive, train, and travel as a team.
With over 20 years of experience as a TDI Instructor Trainer and a proven track record of award winning instruction and record dives, Will leads a network of expert instructors and trusted affiliate dive centres. Together, we create safe, tailored, and transformative diving experiences. Whether refining your skills, exploring remote sites, or joining a luxury liveaboard adventure, every dive is conducted with precision, professionalism, and confidence.
Training with Black Water Tek isn’t about ticking boxes or collecting cards — it’s about safety, precision, and growth. Each course sharpens skills, builds judgment, and develops the mindset that defines true technical divers.
Training Locations
Gili Trawangan is our primary base for technical and CCR courses, offering a variety of deep walls, sea mounds, and stunning underwater topography perfect for skill development. Divers can explore overhangs, pinnacles, and diverse marine life in a safe and controlled environment. Courses are supported by Blue Marlin Dive Tech. Bali is also an option upon request for divers seeking alternative dive sites with equally engaging technical challenges.
In Dahab, Egypt, technical divers can take advantage of the famous Blue Hole, Canyon, and other deep sites ideal for CCR and mixed-gas training. Lagoona Divers (formerly Team Blue Immersion) provides expert logistical support and well-equipped facilities, ensuring a safe and efficient training experience.
For divers or groups constrained by time, travel, or budget, we also offer flexible options to bring training to your location, ensuring high-quality technical diver development wherever you are.
