Optionally it introduces the diver to new and different kit configurations. Advice is given on an individual bases on what to buy. It is a great workshop for the diver unsure whether Technical diving is for them, or what kit to buy.

We film each student underwater and give a full critique on technique areas for improvement. This valuable service guarantees an opportunity to improve your skills as YOU can see what you are doing right and wrong instantly on screen.This programme acts as a basic foundation and training gateway to more advanced diving such as the Advanced Nitrox Diver Course.
