TDI Intro to Tech

Intro to Tech

Take Your First Step Toward Technical Diving

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.
