Intro To Technical Diving

[CCR Josh]

I am running yet another Intro to Tech diving course between Christmas and New Years. Dec 29th and 30th.

The TDI Intro to Tech course is the perfect course for divers who have heard about technical diving and want to find out more about this exciting branch of advanced recreational diving. This course walks students through the special techniques, planning procedures and skills that set technical diving apart from traditional sport diving. It will show them how to improve their dive planning methods, in-water skills and streamline their existing gear configuration, in a non-threatening and fun learning environment. The specific skills this course will highlight are:

* Advanced Buoyancy Control
* Gas Management
* Situational Awareness
* Trim
* Gear Configuration and Selection
* Many More!

TDI’s Intro to Tech course is a useful stand-alone course for the diver who wants to become a more skilled, more proficient diver regardless of if he intends to move on to technical diving. The course may also be used as an introduction to the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and the TDI Decompression Procedures course. And finally, it is also a good refresher for certified technical divers who may want to refresh their skills or have them re-evaluated by a TDI technical instructor.

We will meet Tuesday (29th) night at the shop for classroom and pool- then the next day we will head up the world renowned CRATER for the dives.

Just a note... if anyone is thinking about expanding their diving experience and/or expertise this course is one of the best. I'd say Rescue is the first course that really challenges you to be a better, safer diver and then this one makes you understand better why you dive the way you do, how to better plan your dive (every dive) and opens up whole new levels of depth, duration, and capabilities. Even if you have no plans for being a 'technical' diver, better understanding the limits of recreational diving and understanding why you dive the way you dive (gear config, gas management, etc.) this is an excellent foundational course for being a better, safer diver.

And as for Josh, you'll find him a personable, knowledgeable, and very capable diver willing to take whatever time is necessary to insure you both understand the concepts and that you learn the skills necessary to be a good, safe diver. Highly recommended.
