Dive Subculture Technical - 5 Star Dive Center
Check-in from the First Fin Kicker
Welcome to **Dive Subculture Technical Diving**, where passion meets purpose beneath the surface. When I founded Dive Subculture, my vision was to create something different—an environment where technical diving isn’t just a skill set, but a journey of exploration and growth. Whether you’re venturing into deep wrecks, navigating intricate cave systems, or mastering the complexities of rebreathers, we’re here to push the boundaries alongside you.
Our team isn’t just about diving; we’re about community. We strive to build lifelong relationships with our divers, offering an unparalleled learning experience that prioritizes safety, innovation, and respect for the ocean. It’s this commitment that has allowed us to establish ourselves in Singapore, Khao Lak, Malapascua and Yangon, becoming a trusted name for technical divers across Asia.
At Dive Subculture, we choose to go beyond the ordinary. We choose to challenge norms, embrace the unknown, and protect the very environments we explore. I’m excited to welcome you to our family, and I can’t wait to see where your diving journey takes you.
Dive deeper, explore farther, and make every dive count.
Warm regards,
Jeremy Asher

EXCELLENT Based on 15 reviews Yaz2023-05-08Verified Best Open Water Certification I did my Open Water Certification with Jeremy Asher and I could not have been more happy with it. I learnt so much more than the material and he had a good balance of prioritising safety and fun with his love for the ocean. He was extremely patient and really emphasised key areas, ensuring we had the tips to help us succeed and tailoring his training style to each student. I am really satisfied with the robustness of this course provided by Dive Subculture - thanks Jeremy for making this such a memorable experience and introducing me to the world down under! 🐠🤿💯 Nay Lin H2023-01-29Verified Who love to dive I was so excited of having the experiences of diving during the Open Water Course training. Even though, it is my first experience, I have successfully performed by my excellent instructor Mr.Darren. I would rate the training as 5 stars as the instruction and guidances provided not only during the pool training and open water course was really encouraging and stimulating. Thanks so much Mr.Darren, Mr.Jeremy, Mr. Alex and Dr.Ant who took care and welcomed me during the course of the training. Last, not least, I thanks Mr.Aamir for all the administrative arrangements for the course. I strongly recommend SDI and Dive Subculture Myanmar for those who love to dive. Eugene2022-11-23Verified Amazing Open Water Dive Course in Myanmar One of the most well planned dive open water course. Even though my flight was delayed to Thandwe, Ngapali , they manage to fit me in. Training was done in the pool professionally by Mr Darren at Amata Resort. Equipment was well checked before passing to a student. Open water was planned well. It was a strenuous day but they manage to cover it . The open water was conducted very strictly but safely. Safety came first for all students. Some had to repeat the task if not completed correctly. Thumbs up to this organization. From hotel, boat arrangements, equipments, assistance, instructors, meals. I will dive with them again and will not hesitate to recommend them to newbies to diving. Big Thanks to Jeremy, Darren, Sven and Arnt for training and taking care of us. Darren S2022-11-22Verified A thrilling time in the beautiful seas of Myanmar I did from Open Water up to Dive Master it DSC - one of the best dive centres I've been to anywhere in the world and by far the best in Myanmar. They now offer courses all the to instructor and for recreational and technical diving also.Recently had another trip with DSC for fun diving - amazing dive sites, lots of wildlife and coral and exciting locations. Their approach to organisation and safety is fantastic and the instructors and guides are great hosts and company. They are the only 5 star SDI IT training centre in Myanmar so I was already confident in their standards.If you want to learn diving in Myanmar, or want to do some fun rec or tec dives, this is the place to go. Big thanks to all at DSC! Will definitely be back again - see you underwater soon! Tara2022-09-11Verified Best dive centre in Myanmar! I did three scuba diving courses (Open Water, Advanced Open Water, and Rescue Diver) with Dive Subculture since 2021. At the beginning, I was uncertain about learning to dive in Myanmar, but Dive Subculture had made it enjoyable and made me feel confident as a diver. The instructors are very experienced and always have high standards when it comes to their teaching and divers’ safety. Compared to my experience diving with some dive centres in Thailand, Dive Subculture is top notch in terms of their standards and quality. I highly recommend Dive Subculture for anyone who wants to learn diving whilst in Myanmar. The dive centre is conveniently based in Yangon with its own pool and a dive shop where one can find a wide range of diving equipments. In the high season, the dive centre organises regular trips to Ngapali and Ngwesaung for both courses and fun dives. DrArnt_Htoo_Aung2022-09-06Verified Safe and Fun Diving in Myanmar When it comes to Scuba Diving, be it for recreation or for other purposes, safety is the first priority. Safety measures are practised by following standards and procedures!!! All that can be found in DiveSubculture Myanmar - the first 5-stars SDI/TDI dive centre in Myanmar. Whenever you find time to go for Scuba Diving as an certified diver, who is responsible for our Mother Nature, DiveSubculture is the place I would strongly recommend. Not a certified diver, no problem at all. DiveSubculture offers new diver certification training by 7-stars experienced Instructors during your stay. Rental gears all serviced and maintained properly. So, what are you thinking of? You can get your feet wet whenever and wherever you want in Myanmar. Sridhar R2021-03-20Verified Open Water Course I did my open water course dives with Dive Subculture last week and completed the required dives and pool sessions at Ngapali, Myanmar. Amazing experience and was very impressed with the standard of instruction, guidance and equipments. The instructor who is from Singapore, spoke in good English and ensured that standards were not compromised in learning, safety and comfort to newbies to this sport. I am very impressed and have extended my stay at Amata Resort for another week to pursue my advanced diver program. Will complete by this weekend, confidently with the instructor.
