ITDA Group Technical Training Record

 

ITDA has been training Technical divers in some of the worst diving conditions in the world from Northern Europe to Scandinavia and we have had a 99% Safety record over the past ten years. This is due to our unique training methods and our high standards.

 About Money?

Technical Diving is of course much more expensive than Sports Diving... Why?

 

The cost of training and equipment for technical diving MUST be higher than that of Sports diver training, simply because of the additional safety standards required, plus the need for and dependence on much more  expensive equipment... If you try to buy inexpensive technical equipment or adapt sports equipment for technical diving you may end up serious injured or dead!

 Standards ?

Many National and International Diving bodies do not have standards for Technical Diving...

 

The reason for this is simple, technical diving is a very small market compared with the world wide sports diving markets... Our standards are based on UK HSE Standards and safety training taken from NOAA and the UK Royal Navy...

We also train and certify Rescue, Police and Fire Service Personnel in Public Safety Diving...For federal and state Governments.  See ITDA PSD

 About Technical Diving

 What is Technical Diving?

 Technical Diving has no simple definition but generally refers to types or styles of diving beyond the recreational normal safe diving limits of 30m / 100ft. And is generally accepted in the worldwide diving industry to be diving with Nitrox mixes above 40% Oxygen and also for diving on Air or mixed gases below 40m/132ft.

   The obvious hazards of these types of diving and the associated "Specialist Diving Certification" areas of: Environmental Challenges like... Overhead / Cave / Wreck / and ICE diving and also using mixed gases like Trimix and high grade, high oxygen content for rapid / acceleration of Decompression for very deep diving all require a very high degree of specialist training and specialist safety procedures and advanced knowledge levels in Dive Planning, Physiology and Dive Physics. 

This is why we adopt an attitude of "SAFETY FIRST"... If we add to the above mix of the worldwide growth in interest in both sports and Technical use of Rebreathers both SCR and CCR Units...

We can see a very long future for the need of high quality, high standards in training agencies like ITDA Group International. We also acknowledge the very high standards and groundbreaking work of agencies like IANTD and TDI.... in the USA and around the World...
