Difference?
What's different to other agencies advanced nitrox?
Many agencies have different standards and views on training Nitrox Divers and many of the Sports agencies now claim to have Advanced Nitrox, but be careful before you decide, look at their standards, what is included in their programs for certification? It your choice remember....
Why?
Why should I take this level of training?
If you are seriously asking this question, perhaps you should look again at where you are and where you want to be with your training and certifications in diving... Because this is NOT a program to taken just for fun... This is serious Technical diving and the fun comes after you have mastered the skills to become a safe Advanced Nitrox Technical Diver...

Risks and Hazards
Advanced Technical training can be dangerous
Although Advanced Technical Diving can be very dangerous we do everything possible to make this challenging level as safe as possible... However as will all risk there is always "Danger"... Before engaging in any form of higher level training that involves higher degrees of stress and physical fitness, you MUST be prepared...
Both mental and Physical health requirements for Advanced Technical diving and many other ITDA Group Programs MUST be high... You should never dive or engage in training if your are not feeling 100% Fit both in Mind and Body....
Most accidents occur because of a lack of judgment or an error that could easily have been avoided... If your instructor considers you are unfit to dive you will NOT be permitted to dive! Other agencies may allow you but our first priority is for your safety and we will NOT compromise on standards...
