TDI Intro to Technical Diving in playa del carmen

TDI INTRO TO TECH COURSE IN  PLAYA DEL CARMEN

- 3 Days Minimum - $285/day  - Price based on 2 divers. If single diver, please add $35.

 

If you've heard about technical diving and want to actually find out what it's about, this is the course. I'll walk you through the techniques, planning procedures, and skills that separate technical diving from traditional sport diving.

You'll come out of it with sharper dive planning, better in-water skills, and a more streamlined gear setup — all in an environment that's demanding where it needs to be, but never intimidating for the sake of it.

This course is taught in backmount doubles. If you're specifically interested in sidemount, check out the TDI Sidemount Diver course instead.
