Why Do the Course?
Technical diving is becoming a more popular pastime now amongst all divers. Dives are becomng longer and deeper and using mixed gases and higher PO2’s leading to increased risks of toxicity, thermal and physical stress. A recreational rescue course is no longer sufficient to adequately manage a technical diving incident. In addition many technical dives are conducted further afield and further from help. Learn how to help yourself and others in the high stress situations faced in the technical field.

Students are expected to pay any boat costs and accomodation costs required to complete the course but we do have packages available.
