The TDI
Intro to Tech course introduces students to the world of technical
diving.
The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical
gear 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 no-decompression course; the focus is on
skills and techniques associated with technical diving. Upon completion
of this course students will be in a better position to determine
whether technical diving is for them. |
