The TDI (Technical Diving International) Intro to Tech course is the perfect course for divers who have heard about technical diving and want to find out more about this exciting branch of advanced recreational diving.
This course walks students through the special techniques, planning procedures and skills that set technical diving apart from traditional sport diving.
It will show them how to improve their dive planning methods, in-water skills and streamline their existing gear configuration, in a non-threatening and fun learning environment.
The specific skills this course will highlight are:
TDI’s Intro to Tech course is a useful stand-alone course for the diver who wants to become a more skilled, more proficient diver regardless of if he intends to move on to technical diving.
The course may also be used as an introduction to the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and the TDI Decompression Procedures course.
And finally, it is also a good refresher for certified technical divers who may want to refresh their skills or have them re-evaluated by a TDI technical instructor.
Andrew has written a Dive Blog entry on the Intro to Tech course and we are pleased to have some dates already scheduled!
I can honestly say the Intro to Tech course is a fantastic idea for anyone interested in extending their dive training.We cover details such as equipment configuration for twins, how twins work, in water buoyancy skills plus more advanced dive planning considerations such as gas management as well as using tables and computers to efficiently plan a dive.
The course is an ideal way to determine whether you wish to extend your diving beyond Sport diving, or simply to improve your skills.
The course is run over two evenings and one weekend. Self study is completed before the first class session, followed by a pool session where we practice the in water skills. The final Open Water dives are then completed on the weekend.
