TDI - INTRO TO TECH 🎖
The TDI Intro to Tech course introduces students to the world of technical diving.
This course is designed as an introductory course to the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and the TDI Decompression Procedures course.
The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical equipment configurations, to enhance open water diving skills (such as buoyancy, trim, and situational awareness), and to introduce students to advanced gas planning techniques within a no-decompression context.
This course is strictly a nodecompression course; students are permitted to use enriched air nitrox (EAN) mixes, provided the gas mix is within their current level of certification.
Intro to Tech may be combined with TDI Advanced Nitrox at the discretion of the instructor.

SDI OPEN WATER Diver or equivalent.

If you're feeling unsure about entering the Tech, no problem! You can join us for an exciting exciting one-day pool introduction to tech, where you'll have the chance to try out incredible gear and see just how simple it is!
We start with a dry-land equipment workshop to build muscle memory before jumping into the pool. In the water, you'll get comfortable with the new setup and practice foundational techniques.
The ultimate objective of this session is to help you confidently execute basic technical skills while holding perfect neutral buoyancy, completely independent of hand or fin movements.
