TDI Intro to Tech
Are you interested in diving deeper into the world of technical diving,
but you’re not quite sure if it’s right for you?
Then the TDI Intro to Tech Course is perfect for you!
What is the Intro to Tech?
The goal of the TDI Intro to Tech Course is to provide you with the skills, techniques, and methods that you will likely find very useful for future dives beyond recreational diving.
In addition to the new configuration with twin tanks, new exercises and procedures for technical diving also await you.
One could say the Intro to Tech is the OWD of technical diving, with a focus on diving with twin tanks.
