From TDI, we teach technical scuba classes. Technical divers go beyond recreational diving. These divers can dive deeper, farther, higher, and more overhead, and may use more complex gas mixtures to meet narcosis or decompression requirements. You are a skilled diver who wants to explore the depths of the pool. This is the way to get there. We offer Intro to Tech, Advanced Nitrox, Deco Procedures and Trimix. Advanced Trimix is also available. We can provide a fun class with an expert instructor in the field, using only the best gear at fully inclusive prices.
