Technical Dive Courses

Technical Diving Courses

We offer a range of TDI & PADI Technical diver courses, and Technical Instructor courses, we can also arrange on request courses from GUE, ANDI and RAID. Please contact us with your goals, we can suggest a training and experience package to help you achieve them.

Course prices do not include, Helium (where needed) and Sofnalime (CCR and SCR).

Where to start?

Getting started with technical diving can be confusing, there are options for which training agency to study under, what level to to enter at, what courses to combine, where to pause formal training for a while and gain some experience, it’s a lot to take on. The best approach is to get in touch with us, and have a chat by email, messenger or phone, with one of our Technical Instructors, or Technical Instructor Trainers. We can talk you through course options, agency standards, and recommend a personal training path for you, no commitment, just friendly advice.

Invested in your development

We take a great deal of pride in these programs and want you to get as much from them as possible. With that in mind anyone who completes a certification technical program (tec 40,45,50 etc), including instructor programs, is welcome to join any future course we run. We do not charge you any courses fees for this, classroom sessions are free, for dives we only ask you to cover costs. This way you can be sure we put our very best into any program we conduct, and you can attain the level of knowledge and skill you hoped for.

We work with some very talented instructors that can provide instruction on a variety of machines, some examples being the Poseidon MK 6 and Se7en, AP Inspiration, Pelagian MCCR, the SF2 Sidemount CCR, The JJ, Hammerhead and Revo. If you are interested to go silent and no bubbles, provide us some information on your diving experience, certifications and goals, we can come back to you with a recommendation and training path.

  • Duration will depend on the CCR/SCR chosen and your training goals
  • Prerequisites for these programs vary depending on your training goals.
