Recreational Classes

The recreational training category is designed for non-certified divers and divers alike who are seeking training in the essentials of sound recreational diving practice; recreational diving being defined as scuba diving in "non-overhead" environment. UTD’s Recreational Courses, then, are not designed to teach the skills required by overhead environments; e.g., caves, ice, staged-decompression, wreck penetration, or diving below 130ft/39m. These subjects may be discussed in recreational classes, but should not be construed as training in these specific areas.

Currently the courses are Open Water, Recreational 1, Recreational 2, Recreational 3, Essentials and a wide variety of Specialties
