"Do or do not. There is no try."
A goal without a plan is just a wish
~
The biggest step to any goal is commitment. It’s never too late to start something new in life and you never know until you commit and experience.
The Philosophy
Every single person has their own pace. Our training will always based on that. Although, as tech diver, we have certain standards that every student needs to follow. The philosophy is built on attention to each student’s specific needs, ensuring it will meet those standards, safety, and fun through a flexible-modern approach.
We brings TDI courses with a day-to-day performance-based approach, meaning the duration of the training and the number of dives really depend on the student’s progress. As our goal is to develop highly skilled, confident, and autonomous divers who can safely plan and execute dives with the teammate, without supervision.
As our grand master always says, our mission is to educate divers who are not only certified, but truly prepared for the realities of technical - cave diving. We offer following trainings:
-
Intro to Tech.
-
Sidemount Essentials.
-
Technical Sidemount.
-
Computer Nitrox.
-
Advanced Nitrox.
-
Decompression Procedures.
-
Cavern.
-
Intro to Cave.
-
Wreck.
Intro to Tech
The TDI Intro to Tech course introduces students to the world of technical diving. This course is designed as an introductory course to the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and the TDI Decompression Procedures Course. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical equipment configurations, to enhance open water diving skills (such as buoyancy, trim, and situational awareness), and to introduce students to advanced gas planning techniques within a no-decompression context.
Prerequisites:
-
Minimal age of 18 yo
-
Open Water Diver level, proof 25 logged open water dives.
Course Structure & Duration:
-
2 days, a minimum of 3 dives must be conducted; All dives must be conducted at depths within the diver’s current level of certification but no dives should exceed 23 metres.
Sidemount Essentials
This course is designed to teach certified divers how to safely utilise side-mounted primary cylinders as an alternative to the traditional back-mounted configuration. People said "once you go side, you never go back", it's an anecdote for those who dive with Sidemount compared to the common Backmount, with these consideration:
-
Redundancy & flexibility,
-
Better buoyancy control & trim,
-
More streamlined in the water.
A training program which purposely designed as the essentials and foundation of Sidemount diving:
-
Theory: brief history, pre-dive planning, and gas management.
-
Land Drills: Sidemount configuration and equipment set-up.
-
In-Water Skills: multiple entries techniques, Valve Drill, Safety Drill, regulator switch, SPG check, trim & buoyancy, controlled ascent & descent, equipment failures and SMB deployment.
Prerequisites:
-
Minimal age of 18 yo
-
Open Water Diver level, proof 25 logged open water dives.
Course Structure & Duration:
-
2 days, a minimum of 2 open water dives are required, with complete briefs & debriefs. "Non-deco" dive and also non-overhead environment course.
Technical Sidemount
The program that introduce you to Sidemount multi-stages configuration, whether you aim to use additional decompression cylinders or use additional safety gas in open water and/or overhead environment. It is suitable both for Sidemount sport divers who want to continue their journey to more technical levels, and for existing technical divers who wish to transition from Twinset Backmount to Sidemount configuration. This course can be combined with other TDI courses such as: Advance Nitrox and Decompression Procedures, Cavern, and any other technical courses.
Prerequisites:
-
Minimal age of 18 yo
-
Open Water Diver level, proof 25 logged open water dives.
Course Structure & Duration:
-
3 days, 6x open water dives are required with a minimum accumulated bottom time of 90 minutes.
-
If other courses is taught in conjunction with TDI Sidemount, the total of dives will be adjusted accordingly.
An intensive training program which purposely designed for technical diving purposes, as it is required the essentials fundamental with additional skills such as: dive planning, gas management, advanced propulsion techniques, tight space, problem solving, conservatism, and others.
Cavern
This course is designed to develop the minimum skills and knowledge
for cavern and overhead environment diving within the limits of light penetration.
Student Prerequisites:
-
Minimum age 18; Open Water Scuba Diver with min 25 logged dives; Students must have a Deep Diver Specialty certification or be able to provide proof of experience in order to dive deeper than 18 metres.
Course Structure & Duration:
-
2 days, 4x cavern dives with a total bottom time of 80 minutes conducted at 2 different sites open water dives are required with a minimum accumulated bottom time of 90 minutes.
-
Course must be conducted over a minimum of 2 days.
Intro to Cave
It is the level that will lay a foundation for the real cave diving. Fully overhead environment, pitch black without light.
Student Prerequisites:
-
Minimum age 18, 15 with parental consent
-
Provide proof of TDI Cavern Diver certification or equivalent, or be currently enrolled in a TDI Cavern course.
Course Structure & Duration:
-
3 days, minimum of 4 single guideline cave dives with a total bottom time of 100 minutes conducted at 2 different sites.
-
Course must be conducted over a minimum of 2 days. If this course is combined with the TDI Cavern Diver course, a minimum of 3 days, 8 dives and 180 minutes bottom time is required. All skills from the TDI Cavern course must be completed before any dives can be conducted beyond the natural light zone. A minimum of 2 cavern dives and a minimum of 4 intro cave dives must be conducted in the combined courses. If fewer than 4 cavern dives are done, with all required cavern skills completed, the remaining dives may be conducted at the Intro to Cave level.
Advanced Nitrox
This course examines the use of EAN-21 through 100% oxygen
for optimal mixes to a depth of 40 metres / 130 feet. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilizing EAN-21 through 100% oxygen for dives not requiring staged decompression
Prerequisites:
-
Minimal age of 18 yo, minimum certification of Nitrox Diver, with 25 logged open water dive.
Course Structure & Duration:
-
2 days, 4x dives are required with a minimum accumulated bottom time of 100 minutes.
-
*) If Advanced Nitrox is taught in conjunction with Decompression Procedures*, only a total of 6x dives are required, with a maximum depth of 45 metres.
-
**) If Advanced Nitrox is taught in conjunction with Intro to Tech or
TDI Sidemount*, only a total of 4x dives are required, but all dives must be conducted at depths within the diver’s current level of certification and no dives should exceed 23 metres.
Decompression Procedures
This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. This program is designed as a stand-alone course or it may be taught in conjunction with TDI Advanced Nitrox, Sidemount, and/or Cavern Course. The objective of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a max depth of 45 metres.

Wreck Specialty
Wreck diving can be one of the most exciting aspects of sport diving, however every effort must be made to maximize safe diving techniques. This course will discuss the equipment and techniques commonly employed while wreck diving. This course may be taught as a non-penetration, 2 dives required, or as a limited-penetration course, requiring 3 dives. Limited- penetration is defined as a swim through or within the ambient light of entry point

Combination Courses
Opportunity to maximise your training with combination of these following tech courses:
-
Cavern + Intro to Cave: 6 Days
-
Technical Sidemount + Cavern + Intro to Cave: 9 Days
-
Intro to Tech + Advanced Nitrox + Deco Procedures: 6 Days
-
Advanced Nitrox + Deco Procedures: 6 Days
-
Technical Sidemount + Advanced Nitrox + Deco Procedures: 9 Days
Combo courses are intense, fast-paced path. While we don’t want to slow down those who can progress quickly, it is not for everyone. Remember that everyone has their own pace. Tech & Cave diving is demanding, and most divers need time to reinforce skills before advancing to higher courses.
Guided dives at the previous/current level before advancing is highly recommended. At technical level, there’s no shame to postpone when you’re not ready and confident. A long stay is essential, with buffer days for rest, fatigue, or avoiding any technical issues.
