C-Life - PSAI Training Centre # 58.
Specialising in the more advanced disciplines of diver training.

PSAI (Professional Scuba Association International) is one of the oldest scuba instructional training agencies in the world, originally founded by Hal Watts (CEO) in mid 1980's. PSAI was the first internationally recognisd agency to establish training guidelines for extended range recreational diving. For many years it was a small, specialized organisation that was predominantly involved with diver training associated with extended range, and deep air diving, . Joe Odom resigned from TDI in 2004 and became the Chairman of PSA in November 2004. PSA offers a wealth of training courses aimed at divers wishing to go beyond the limits of recreational diving. From nitrox and decompression diving to trimix and rebreathers.

C-Life - TDI Dive Centre

TDI (Technical Diving Internation) is the largest technical certification agency in the world. As one of the first agencies to provide training in mixed gas diving and rebreathers. TDI is seen as an innovator of new diving techniques and programs which previously were not available to the general public. Training with TDI has provided divers with the opportunity to see such wrecks as the Andrea Doria, Luisitania and the Prince of Wales. TDI divers have explored underwater caves in Spain, Australia and Mexico and assisted as support divers on world record freedives done in the Red Sea.

TDI’s professionals are held to the highest standard to ensure quality training throughout the world. This means that as a diver taking a TDI course, your instructor will have documented his experience and knowledge prior to achieving that rating. As an instructor candidate taking a TDI course, your TDI instructor trainer will have gone through their paces to achieve the highest level of training that TDI offers.

TDI is committed to offering the highest quality training supported by the latest materials with the most up to date information and techniques. TDI’s materials are written by authors that actually conduct the type of diving they are writing about. Those same materials are updated as technology and equipment change.

Aims and objectives of TDI - Criteria Based Training - - Committed to highest quality training, materials and up to date information and techniques -

All our Technical Diver courses are performance based. Student responsibilities include completing the prerequisite dives, relevant prerequisite courses, pre-planning management skills, theory work, and relevant dive experience before starting one of our Technical courses. Just because you have paid for a course does not mean you automatically have qualified. Do not expect to pass the same way as you did on a recreational scuba course. Remedial evaluation dives may be necessary, and the minimum number of dives may need to be extended to reach skill mastery. We pride our teaching methods on delivering the highest quality of instruction in small groups. Technical Diver Training specialises in the more advanced disciplines of diver training. To obtain this, student participation requires knowledge, patience, dedication, mature understanding and ecceptance of feedback. Sometimes knowing when you are wrong or areas requiring improvement will prove to make you a safer diver. You can never stop learning regardless of what level you have reached. Our Technical Educational Instruction is based through knowledge, Safety & Integrity.
