Technical Diving Courses
Turn to the dark side...
Technical diving is, for many, the ultimate challenge. The pinnacle of diving achievements; whether it be advanced decompression procedures, tec sidemount, cave/mine diving or rebreather diving.
Tec Diving opens up many new opportunities, from extended range and depth to new wrecks and locations that very few humans have ever seen!
At InDepth we can offer many of the technical courses, either directly through the club or through the InDepth Dive Centre.
Technical diving is not for everyone!
The risks are greater and it requires the correct mindset. That said, it can definitely be extremely rewarding.
In order to start down the technical diving path you do need to meet the prerequisites for each of the Tec courses. If you are just starting out and looking at Tec 40 then you will need to have logged a minimum of 30 dives (we recommend at least 100), you must be over 18 years of age, hold a suitable EANx qualification and be medically fit enough to undertake the dives. A medical declaration is required, signed by a doctor within the last 12 months.

At one point or another, many divers have found themselves alone during a dive, whether it was intentional or not. SDI’s Solo Diving is the practice of self reliant scuba diving without a “dive buddy.”
