Introduction to Technical Diving/Tec Basics

Who needs this class?

The introduction to Technical Diving class is for divers who have yet to master buoyancy control, propulsion techniques and/or gear configuration in their back or sidemounted doubles. This is essentially a "Get You Ready for Tech" class. Prior to enrolling in cave classes students must demonstrate mastery of buoyancy, trim, propulsion techniques and have a properly configured set of cave diving gear. This course helps you make that happen. This course will assist you in becoming proficient with either backmounted or sidemounted doubles, which are required for cave diving courses.
