I’ve dived and trained all over the world and I can say that the new management of Prana Dive (and the associated hotel/cottages on the same site) are top notch. Great, thoughtful service.
Unlike many ”money and cert mill” shops that can be found in SE Asia, Prana Dive, as a RAID shop, is very serious and professional given their tec diving competencies, more diligent in training compared to other agencies I’ve learned from.
This past February, prior to finding Prana Dive, I had already spent a week in Amed diving with another shop. However, I felt I needed additional challenges and learning that the previous shop couldn’t offer, and was so happy to have found Prana Dive.
I did my RAID Deep40 class with the dive manager Turk and it was the most educational and eye-opening class, and inspired my journey to becoming a tec diver.
It was extremely validating to me to have an instructor of Turk’s caliber give the seal of approval on my dive skills.
Turk was patient, encouraging and a fantastic instructor who took the time to really make sure I understood all the concepts and skills. The way he taught really boosted my confidence and made tec diving accessible and approachable in what can seem at first like an intimidating field. He had a wealth of not only dive skills, but diverse personal experience and lessons learned from his career that he was happy to impart. He is also extremely friendly and funny - very down to earth and humble, and it helped that we also could connect on our shared California diving background.
I loved the course so much that I am going back to Amed in a few weeks to take my Sidemount and Deco 50 course with Turk. Tec diving, here I come! - via
