Technical Training
Technical Diving is a
discipline that utilizes special techniques, equipment, training and
skills to improve underwater performance and safety. Akin to the
spirit of rock climbing and wilderness trekking, the motivation for
tech diving is personal challenge and the thrill of exploration.
High tech diving typically involves deeper and longer exposures than
traditional recreational standards and is often conducted in an
overhead environment of a wreck where the diver cannot freely ascend
to the surface.
While each of our courses may be taught as a single module, their
greatest asset lies in the fact that they may be easily combined in
to a closely related module. By progressing through these tiered
programs, we build your experience base enabling you with a high
degree of diving discipline and confidence to successfully complete
your dives. We build up your confidence through repeated hands-on
work both in the water and in the tech lab. Our objective is not
only to qualify you for your dive objective, but also to give a
healthy respect for the technical diving environment.
