    7. Technical Diver Training - Doing What Works

      For years technical diver training has been spearheaded by IANTD, TDI, and ANDI. In recent years both PADI (DSAT) and SSI have entered the arena. These agencies focus on the technology aspects of training including all the levels of mixed gas diving, overhead environments, and general and unit specific rebreathers. This section is for discussion of their methods and program.
