Technical diving opens doors to underwater environments that lie beyond the scope of recreational diving: greater depths, staged decompression, multiple gas switches, and overhead environments. Rather than seeing it as just “advanced,” we view technical diving as an art and a discipline—a way to explore more responsibly, with greater control and safety.At our center, we are passionate about teaching technical diving not just as a certification, but as a mindset—emphasizing careful planning, redundant systems, and mastery of your gear.We offer TDI Intro to Tech and TDI Sidemount Diver training, specializing in side-mount configuration. These courses lay the foundation to proceed further into advanced technical diving paths.
Technical diving includes any dive that exceeds typical recreational limits. That might mean mandatory decompression stops, use of more than one breathing gas, multiple cylinders, or overhead environments such as caves or wrecks.It demands a higher level of precision, redundancy, and decision-making than standard recreational diving. Yet with the right training, equipment, and discipline, it unlocks access to some of the most thrilling underwater terrain on the planet.
The TDI Intro to Tech course serves as your gateway into technical diving. It builds upon recreational skills by introducing deeper dive planning, advanced buoyancy, propulsion techniques, and a technical mindset.
This course is ideal if you’re ambitious and want a solid base in technical diving before moving on to decompression or mixed-gas courses.
The TDI Sidemount Diver course trains certified divers to configure and dive with cylinders on their sides (rather than on the back).
Upon completion, you’ll be certified to conduct recreational sidemount dives independently (within limits) and have a prerequisite foundation for further technical training in sidemount configuration.
