Preparation for Technical Dive Training:

Technical or "Tec" dive training requires some extra effort on the part of the student and the instructor. Before a diver takes Tec training, they should have had a rescue diver course, a deep diver course, basic nitrox and have good bouyancy skills. It is often recommended that a solo or self reliant diver certification is also attained before Tec training. The student should be in good physical condition, have a recent physical, and have a good safe diving attitude. Tec diving is a team sport, so willingness to work as part of a team is paramount.

Course Scheduling

I sometimes teach for dive shops but like most scuba instructors am hired as an independent contractor. Since I am an independent instructor and when not teaching a class for a particular shop, I don't work off of a set schedule. I schedule courses as needed. When someone comes to me and wants to get certified before their Hawaii trip, I work with them to get that done. Someone else, might want a continuing education class or to move into Tec Diving. So, I set up courses accordingly to the need. If you are curious, don't hesitate to drop me a message and we can talk about what your diving goals are and how I can help you accomplish them.
