Now that you are already open water certified and you’re looking for little more adventure, technical diving may be just the thing for you.
Technical diving picks up where recreational sport diving ends. If you want to explore beyond the realms of sport diving, including diving deeper than 40m, or using mixed gasses, or under overhead environments (cave, decompression) you may wish to try Technical diving.

What is technical diving?
All non Commercial & Military Diving is categorized as recreational and within recreational diving there is sport and technical diving. Sport diving includes your open water certification, advanced scuba diver, and many other specialty courses. Technical diving picks up where sport diving ends generally with Nitrox or Enriched Air (a breathing gas with oxygen levels greater than 21 percent Oxygen).
What is my first step into technical diving?
Nitrox or Enriched Air is most divers’ first step into technical but it has also become very popular amongst sport divers so be participating in the TDI Advanced Nitrox and the TDI Decompression Procedures courses would be a great start. TDI Advanced Nitrox and TDI Decompression Procedures are the foundation of technical diving in the TDI range of courses. All other TDI courses will build on the knowledge and skills learned during these courses.
Do I have to go deep for technical diving?
No. Although technical diving is commonly thought of as deep, there are a lot of courses that stay within the sport diving limits (40 m/130 feet) such as Advanced Nitrox, Semi Closed Circuit Rebreather (SCR) and Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) and Advanced Wreck to name a few.
Will technical diving allow me to go deeper?
Yes. TDI has course curriculums that take you as deep as 100 m / 330 feet and do so in a manner that each course builds on the last and each course takes you a little deeper. By receiving training in this manner not only are your skills and knowledge increasing but so is your comfort level.
