This is a question aimed at all technical diving instructors.

Colorado is by no means a technical diving Mecca--not even close. It never has been. There are only a handful of technical diving instructors in the state, counting all agencies. Still, there has been a slow but steady technical instruction market in the area over time.

I just had an interesting conversation with one of the most experienced tech diving instructors in the state, and he spoke of how incredibly slow the market is for tech instruction these days. He does not know if it is the economy or what, but he has never seen anything like it.

I was wondering how things were going elsewhere.
 
Tec is not for the faint of wallet. I am guessing the economy has a lot to do with limited uptake for a sport with high cost barriers to entry.
