Ben Reymenants was born in Belgium where he did his first dives in 1991. 25 years later he has dived and taught all over the world and holds trainer levels from 5 different diving agencies. He is also a Divemedic Instructor and a board certified Hyperbaric Technologist.


He was manager for a large recompression chamber network for nearly a decade. Ben has assessed and treated more than 400 cases of decompression sickness, followed dive medical seminars in South Africa, Australia and Spain, and has worked closely with different hyperbaric specialists from all over the globe.


In the meantime, while living in Thailand, Ben has done some record breaking dives, like a 239 meter dive in Sra Keow cave in Thailand. He also once held the deepest ocean dive going to 202.5 meters in the Blue Hole in Dahab.


Ben is one of the few CCR-Cave IT’s worldwide. He is International Training Director for SSI and currently writes the cave and CCR manuals for SSI’s newly revamped XR technical program.


Ben lives in Thailand where he runs BlueLabelDiving with his wife Simone. Their main focus lies on technical diving tuition, cave expeditions and diving medicine seminars.


We look forward to hearing more about Ben's dive adventures! Welcome to the team!

Prachtig werk dat u geleverd hebt met de redding van de kinderen en de begeleider. In Thailand bent u een held en hier in België ook. Respect man.
