About Frontier Tech Divers

Experience That Runs Deeper

At Frontier Tech Divers, we don’t just teach diving — we build divers who think, act, and explore beyond the ordinary.

Our team brings more real-world experience than most dive centers in the country, drawn from years of instruction, exploration, and technical operations across Asia and beyond.

From the first breath underwater to advanced mixed-gas and technical wreck diving, our instructors have been part of thousands of dives in challenging environments — deep wrecks,  decompression dives, and rescue operations. This experience translates into training that’s grounded in reality, not just theory.

Our passion is diving and we want you to experience that thrill of diving in Bohol

Frontier Tech is lead by Rick Kirkham a TDI Instructor Trainer with over 30 years experience as a technical  instructor. Get training with the complete range of SDI recreational and TDI technical courses and instructor courses

A Proud TDI Training Facility

We are affiliated with TDI – Technical Diving International, the world’s largest and most recognized technical diving agency.
That means your training follows global standards and is backed by an organization trusted by explorers, professionals, and technical instructors worldwide.

Whether you’re progressing through SDI recreational courses or stepping up to TDI technical training, you’ll learn under instructors who teach to the highest safety and performance standards in diving.

Our lead instructor is Rick Kirkham. He’s been a tech instructor for the past 28 years. When  asked  ”Don’t you get bored diving all the time?”  – the answer is No. He found his passion in 1990 and has been diving full time ever since then

Our Philosophy

Diving isn’t about how deep you go — it’s about how well you dive.

We believe in building divers who can handle themselves and others, who understand the environment, and who make good decisions under pressure.

Every course at Frontier Tech Divers focuses on:
✅ Confidence and composure underwater
✅ Realistic, scenario-based training
✅ Leadership and problem-solving skills
✅ A lifelong respect for the sea

Because of all of this we routinely exceed minimum course standards for the number of dives. Check out our courses page – if the standard is four dives you will probably be doing six or seven. Technical Diving International allows us to do this. Rather than a cookie-cutter approach to diver training, TDI standards out against other agencies to its proactive approach to diver training

The more you practise the ‘luckier’ you get
