About Black Water Tek
Black Water Tek is dedicated to delivering top-notch technical diver training and travel experiences. Our approach involves surpassing minimum training standards and instilling in students the highest possible skill set. Technical diving is a performance sport and so by actively advocating for a healthy mindset, teamwork, and physical exercise, we ensure that students are thoroughly informed and prepared.
Our goal is to present distinctive travel itineraries to premier destinations, providing exciting exploration opportunities for technical divers to apply their skills. Regardless of gender, race, training organisation, or certification level, we welcome all technical divers at Black Water Tek. Here, we operate, train, dive, and travel as a cohesive team.
Training Locations
Most courses take place in Gili Trawangan at the pioneering Blue Marlin Dive, but Bali is also an option upon request. Both locations boast excellent reputations and incredible technical diving sites. Logistics are straightforward and allow for seamless diving and training support.
Lagoona Divers, formerly recognized as the world-renowned Team Blue Immersion, hosts courses at their facility in Dahab, Egypt. Renowned for their safety record, extensive knowledge of all diving systems, professionalism, logistical efficiency, and quality service, they provide an exceptional training environment.
Recognising the significance of distance in training planning, we offer the flexibility to come to you. Whether you are pressed for time, travel is not feasible, or budget constraints exist for you or your group, just let us know.

Our Affiliates
In Indonesia, our primary collaboration is with Blue Marlin Dive Tech on Gili Trawangan. Will played a key role in setting up and managing operations. This facility features a dedicated tech boat, an air-conditioned tech room, and a full array of rental equipment. Everything from CCR hire to stage rigging and regs are available. Situated in a favoured destination known for its quality restaurants, beaches, and breathtaking dive sites. Gili Trawangan remains a favourite among all kinds of travellers.
We proudly affiliate with Lagoona Divers (formerly Team Blue Immersion) for open circuit and CCR training, boasting superb equipment rental, tanks, sofnolime, and accommodation. Their well-maintained facilities, including dedicated tech rooms, are just a 15-minute drive from the town center and offer a private beach with stunning bay and mountain views. For more details, you can read my blog on our November 2021 trip to assess Andy and Kerstin’s new facility. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants, activities, and relaxing spots for non-diving days.
Excitingly, we’ve joined forces with Bob and the crew from Shakti for the next couple of years. As one of the pioneering Raja Ampat liveaboards, they enable us to craft a truly unique itinerary for technical divers in this phenomenal part of the world
