IANTD courses / instructors in Europe

[tomcatter]

Greetings to all

Any suggestions for an instructor or dive shop where I might take an IANTD Advanced Rec Trimix + Normoxic Trimix course in July?

Spain, Portugal, or Italy would be preferred - but will consider all

Many thanks for your assistance

If you speak Spanish, Italian and Portuguese I'm impressed. I can recommend a dive shop and a couple of instructors in Northern Italy (Verona) if that's any help.

The guy that runs the shop is called Max and will struggle to do a little English if he has to.. The course would be in Italian as everyone else would be Italian...

Advanced Rec Tx is not a well known course in Europe outside the UK. Unless you bring another customer you will need to do the Normoxic + Adv Nitrox.

Sometimes if you're lucky you can finish the course in the Ligurian sea off Genova. Normally though the guys train in Lake Garda. There is a very good wreck near Genova

Italians have a different time scale to many other people and the course might run over a bit - something to think about in planning the trip.

IANTD do not have a big following in Spain and Portugal. There are a couple of outfits in Southern France I know of.
