Tecdiving
All non commercial diving is categorized as
recreational and within recreational diving there is sport and
technical diving. Sport diving includes your open water certification,
advanced scuba diver, and many other special course. Technical diving
picks up where sport diving ends generally at nitrox (a breathing gas
with oxygen levels greater than 21 percent).
Who is TDI?
TDI is the largest technical certification agency
in the world. As one of the first agencies to provide training in mixed
gas diving and rebreathers, TDI is seen as an innovator of new diving
techniques and programs which previously were not available to the
general public. Training with TDI has provided divers with the
opportunity to see such wrecks as the Andrea Doria, Luisitania and the
Prince of Wales. TDI divers have explored underwater caves in Spain,
Australia and Mexico and assisted as support divers on world record
freedives done in the Red Sea.
The term Technical Diving refers to a wide range
of advanced level diving activities ranging from the overhead
environment, to wreck, deep and/or mixed gas diving.
Red-Sea-Tecdiving aims to provide the highest
level of
technical diving training through our resident Technical Instructor.
Sunsplash offers the full range of TDI courses and chooses the best
course that suits your needs with a certification of high
standards. Courses include basic nitrox, advanced nitrox,
decompression procedures and trimix. Besides, we teach specific
technical diving specialties such as twinset famillarisation, advanced
buoyancy, DPV, decompression theory, deep rescue, oxygen admin and
first aid. Most technical dives take place below 40m/130 ft where set
decompression stops are required before surfacing. Nitrox became an
accepted part of regular recreational diving and is now a part of many
dive operations around the world.
