Outing Highlights

THE RIG

Technical equipment configurations

Students are introduced to technical gear setups and how configuration affects trim, buoyancy, and situational awareness in the water.

THE SKILLS

Open‑water skill sharpening

The course emphasizes enhancement of open‑water skills — notably buoyancy control, trim, and situational awareness — to prepare divers for more advanced technical training.

THE PLANNING

Advanced gas planning in a no‑decompression context

Participants are introduced to advanced gas‑planning techniques and may use enriched air nitrox mixes as long as the mix is within their current certification; the course itself is strictly no‑decompression.

What the day feels like

What the Intro to Tech feels like

Over three days of classroom and in‑water instruction, students move from equipment orientation into focused practice of open‑water skills and basic technical gas planning, all taught with an emphasis on no‑decompression profiles and safe progression toward Advanced Nitrox and decompression coursework.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this course suits — and who should look elsewhere.

Aspiring technical diversWell suited to divers wanting an introductory, no‑decompression pathway into technical diving and preparation for TDI Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures.

Nitrox candidatesAppropriate for divers planning to progress to Advanced Nitrox training; the course may also be combined with TDI Advanced Nitrox at the instructor’s discretion.

Open‑water skill improversA good match for divers who want focused work on buoyancy, trim, and situational awareness in preparation for technical courses.

Those seeking decompression trainingNot ideal for divers seeking decompression procedures instruction — this course is explicitly no‑decompression in scope.
