The Need for Pre-Tech Training
.
Technical diving is an extremely demanding and precise activity, requiring a high standard of core scuba skills at the outset; buoyancy, weighting, trim, propulsion, control, gas management and situational awareness.
These demands are reflected in the scope and intensity of technical diving courses. Compared to recreational diving classes, the failure or remedial course extension rate is relatively high.
.
As a consequence, many technical diving students value the opportunity to conduct pre-tech training clinics and appraisals, in order to provide the best possible preparation for future technical diving classes.
