SUMMARY:Intro To Tech
DESCRIPTION:The Intro to Technical Diving course is designed to cultiv
 ate the fundamental techniques required by all sound technical, wreck,
  and cave diving practice. Intro to Tech focuses on the divers’ crit
 ical bottom skills. The training is centered around precise buoyancy c
 ontrol, team awareness, and controlled ascent procedures including sur
 face marker buoy use.\n\nUTD’s Intro to Tech class continues the stu
 dents’ path as a “Thinking Diver” and brings an increased awaren
 ess of the underwater environment. While preparing the diver for more 
 advanced, technical dive training, the Intro to Tech student will also
  develop excellent diving skills for use in recreational diving situat
 ions.\n\n\n\nWho this class is designed for?\n\nMany divers find all t
 he adventure they need in recreational dives shallower than 100' howev
 er, some feel that maybe they are missing some skills that technical d
 ivers have. Maybe you linger at the top of the wall, looking down into
  the inky abyss? Maybe the idea of penetrating a wreck, with only your
  lights and a guideline to lead you gives you those “good” goose b
 umps? Or maybe you think that you’ll never be happy unless you're fl
 ying past a pinnacle at 200' on a scooter? Technical diving is about h
 aving fun, just like any other pastime. But, like anything worth doing
 , it requires perseverance and hard work. This class is designed for t
 he diver who is eager to learn some basic technical diving skills whic
 h will help improve their recreational diving ability or who wants to 
 begin building a strong foundation to start pursuing the challenge of 
 technical diving.\n\nWhy Take this Class?\n\nMaybe you want to learn s
 omething new (like the UTD configuration) or you want to improve your 
 safety by learning to do horizontal air sharing drills. Regardless of 
 your motivation, in this class you will be introduced to the technical
  diver's toolbox. You will learn to hover motionless, move forward and
  backward, turn around without disturbing the bottom. You will learn t
 o air share gas with your teammate in a reasonable and efficient manne
 r. You will learn to ascend, making appropriate stops while deploying 
 a surface marker to alert the boat and support team of our predicament
  and the basic use of a deco bottle. In the classroom, technical diver
 s need to know which gas to choose and why, how to plan a dive (includ
 ing Decompression techniques), from the back of the truck to a bench o
 n the boat, and how to ensure that everyone has a great time and gets 
 home safely. Intro to Tech isn't about showcasing the latest equipment
 , or rushing you into the next class. It's about working to develop sk
 ills that will improve your dive, and thus propel you into a world of 
 exploration.\n\nFor more information on Unified Team Diving Internatio
