I've been very impressed so far with what NASE has brought to the table with their brand of "better skills"based mandates in their courses. I look forward to seeing some NASE tech classes run in Palm Beach....

For any of the NASE TECH Instructors..... here is a great intro tech rec that Pura Vida Dive Shop has just begun using for PADI Tech ....the Wreck of the Ande...About 150 to the top of the wheelhouse, 195 to the sand....It is only about 5 minutes out of the Palm Beach inlet, and boats like Narcosis will put your people on a normal trip, drop the recreational divers for 45 min to and hour on an 80 foot dive, then run 5 minutes to the Ande, and drop your group for 15 to 20 minutes bottom time and the deco plan you desire....This is a drift dive, in the milder current deep area of Palm Beach..our best method for the Palm Beach wrecks is one diver towing a Sporasub torpedo float, and either hooking it off, or hanging on to it throughout the dive( these things have virtually no pull, even big huge currents).

Ande Wreck 195 feet deep....Van gets his fish, Finch finds a Mola Mola..John gets to have fun - YouTube

Also....Pura Vida has a 12 pack that will run custom tech trips, and they have 2 NASE instructors on staff :)
There are about a dozen very cool tech wrecks within 20 minutes of the Palm Beach inlet,
and some fascinating deep reefs ( 140 to 170 and 230 to 270) off of our north Palm Beach area. Here is 140 to 150--the Hole in the Wall http://youtu.be/nWdG1c-Amwg?hd=1
 
Almost looks like NetDoc in the water with the blue/red wet suit and greying head.
