TDI

Open your path to new worlds, to the deeper levels of the sea, into the wrecks, caverns, caves, to a life below the ordinary recreational depths.

Go tech! Become special! Think lateral, Dive Sidemount!

Stay on the safe side, yet still explore more; the hidden, the inaccessible parts of the underwater world, to the ordinary.

We can help you and guide you through the way of becoming a technical diver as well as extending your technical dive skills and knowledge. Throughout the process of learning or extending your skills, your mind set is as important as the new techniques you’ll learn and master. Let us guide and help you through your journey.

In anticipation of your course, you will be requested to undertake some self-study prior to your initial classroom session. This self-study, whether in the form of a manual with knowledge reviews or e-learning, will set the groundwork for your learning experience. Regardless of the chosen method, a theory lesson will be conducted, marking the commencement of your training journey.

Theory, class, and equipment sessions are always conducted before advancing to any confined or open water training. Throughout the entire process, you will consistently be trained to the highest possible standards. This commitment remains unwavering, irrespective of the duration required for completion. Emphasising the importance of thorough preparation, we ensure that theory and practical aspects are covered comprehensively to instill confidence and competency.

Central to our approach during any of our TDI courses is the provision of extra course dives and the flexibility to learn at your own pace. These elements are key in developing comfort and competency, facilitating the retention of acquired knowledge. We firmly believe in the significance of meticulous training both in and out of the water, adhering to proper procedures to the best of our ability. In essence, our commitment to excellence ensures a comprehensive and personalised learning experience tailored to your individual needs
