TDI Intro to Tech
Intro to Tech
The TDI Intro To Tech course is the first step in a diver’s technical journey. It takes the basic principles learned in previous recreational courses and expands on them – deepening each student’s skill set to prepare them for more technically advanced diving as they continue to deeper depths in future tec courses.
Students will learn to:
- Master buoyancy, trim, and balance
- Improve in-water skills
- Streamline new equipment configurations
- In-depth dive planning methods
- Expand on gas management and situational awareness
Intro to Tec can be taught on either a single cylinder or a twinset, using standard configurations. Students can use a single cylinder if they are taking the course to fine-tune their skills, while a twinset is recommended for divers looking for technical dive experience in order to gain the foundations needed for future technical courses.
Duration: 2 days (3 dives)

Suitable For: 15+ years old
Prerequisites: Open Water qualification + medically fit for diving; 25 logged dives

We keep our classes small in order to provide a more personalized learning experience. This allows flexibility throughout the course to adapt it to each student’s specific needs and learning style. Our TDI Intro to Tec course has a maximum of 2 students.
All dive training will take place directly in the sea in one of our protected bays at Lighthouse and/or Mashraba.
