The TDI Intro to Tech Diving Course is an introductory course that expands on recreational training by improving dive planning methods, in-water skills, and
streamlining existing gear configurations in a controlled and fun learning environment.
Whether you're planning to become a technical diver or not the skills on this course will set you up for even more great diving than ever before.
On this workshop style course you increase your diver skill set by learning to dive a twinset configuration and by mastering your positioning in the water,
buoyancy & trim, different finning techniques, and underwater communication skills.
The TDI Intro to Tech Course is all about developing your twinset and diver skills and not about depth so all the diving and learning of skills will be
completed in shallow water to a max depth of 23m or your current maximum certification depth if shallower.
Who is this course for?
Any open water diver who wants to expand their diver knowledge and skills.
Any open water diver who is considering technical diver training.
Any certified technical diver who is looking for a refresher course.
What's next?

plan standard staged decompression dives using nitrox mixtures from 21% - 100% to get the maximum out of your dive!
