TDI (Technical Diving International) provides advanced technical dive training in Thailand, through a recognised 5-Star Instructor Training Facility, serving experienced divers seeking to extend their depth, decompression, and overhead environment capabilities. TDI programmes are designed for divers operating beyond recreational limits, and include decompression procedures, extended range, trimix, sidemount, rebreather diving, and technical wreck and cave diving. Training is delivered using a structured, standards-driven approach focused on gas planning, redundancy, risk management, and real-world technical diving applications, conducted in both open water and challenging environments.
N9BO℠ is a TDI-certified technical diving training provider and 5-Star Instructor Training Facility in Thailand, delivering professional-level instruction to divers preparing for advanced exploration, expedition diving, or progression toward technical and instructor-level qualifications. TDI courses emphasise disciplined procedures, precise buoyancy and trim, and operational awareness, making them well-suited to divers transitioning from recreational profiles to full technical diving operations.
FRTI Instructor Crossover – Professional Familiarisation
N9BO℠ offers the FRTI Instructor Crossover – Professional Familiarisation pathway for active first aid and emergency response instructors seeking to align with First Response Training International standards.

Elevate Your First Aid Credentials
Align with internationally recognised medic first aid standards and expand your instructional portfolio.
No. You do not need to be a diver or a dive professional to become an FRTI Instructor.
FRTI is designed as a first-response and emergency care system, not a diving qualification. The instructor course is open to:
• Safety officers
• Security personnel
• NGO and humanitarian workers
• Industrial and offshore staff
• Educators and trainers
• Emergency response coordinators
The focus is on recognition and management of life-threatening emergencies, safe casualty handling, and structured decision-making until advanced medical care becomes available. Diving experience is neither required nor expected.
FRTI is designed for organisations and individuals operating in environments where medical response may be delayed, limited, or disrupted.
Typical participants include:
• Industrial and infrastructure project teams
• Offshore, maritime, and energy sector personnel
• NGOs and humanitarian field staff
• Security teams and close-protection units
• Expedition leaders and remote operations supervisors
The programme aligns with workplace first-aid and emergency response expectations commonly referenced by OSHA-style safety management systems and international duty-of-care standards.
Yes. FRTI is highly suitable for public safety contexts and integrates naturally with broader emergency response frameworks.
It complements:
• ERDI Public Safety Diving programmes
• Workplace Emergency Action Plans (EAPs)
• Incident Command and site safety structures
• Disaster response and mass-casualty support roles
FRTI emphasises scene safety, triage principles, responder protection, and structured handover, consistent with concepts promoted by ILCOR and Red Cross emergency care doctrine, and confidently in real-world settings.
The FRTI Instructor course typically runs 2–3 days, depending on participant experience, teaching background, and course configuration.
The programme includes:
• Instructor-level theory and standards
• Teaching methodology and course delivery
• Practical skill workshops and scenarios
• Assessment of instructional competence
Training is performance-based, ensuring instructors can confidently deliver FRTI programmes in professional, workplace, and institutional environments.
FRTI is specifically designed for high-risk, remote, or resource-limited operational environments where immediate access to Emergency Medical Services (EMS) cannot be assumed.
The programme reflects internationally recognised principles found in:
• OSHA workplace safety guidance
• ILCOR life-support frameworks
• Red Cross / Red Crescent first-aid doctrine
It focuses on:
• Early recognition of life-threatening conditions
• Time-critical interventions prior to evacuation
• Prolonged care considerations
• Safe casualty movement and responder safety
• Clear escalation and medical handover
Common operational settings include offshore operations, remote worksites, disaster zones, security deployments, and expeditionary environments.
This global recognition makes EFR particularly valuable for individuals who work, teach, or travel internationally.
