Tech Dive Training
Tech diving instruction and training from an Austin based technical diving instructor.
Technical Diving, tech diving, tec or tek diving, call it what you will, is surprisingly accessible to recently certified divers in the Austin, TX area through the very comprehensive, progressive, challenging, enjoyable and safe DSAT training courses. The courses are extremely rewarding and highly enjoyable.
Technical diving is the bridge to a whole world of diving opportunities that very few experience.
Lake Travis is an excellent location for technical diving training having depth, shallows, darkness, light, good visibility, limited visibility, comfortable temperatures, easy water access, plenty of top-side space and comfort plus ready access to gas and air fills. Questions thus far?
Whilst the physics remain the same, not all dive instructors (or agencies for that matter) are created equal in terms of the quality of their programmes, the quality of instruction and training, the quality of the materials or indeed the instructor's own credentials, experiences and path to instructorship.
Selecting your instructor should not be taken lightly, especially at this elevated level of training. Choose your instructor wisely, train right. Choose quality over cheapness. Choose an instructor with significant, broad experience, a breadth of training, who keeps abreast of developments, theories and practices and one who is currently engaged in both technical diving as well as technical diving instruction. Marginal competence in any area should not be accepted by you.
Do you want to be great, or just good? The answer to this will tell you which instructor will suit you. Deep down, I know which I would rather be, and you do too.
Deep down your training matters, so choose well and train right.
DSAT courses are demanding, intensive, progressive and exciting; incorporating high quality materials with my top-class instruction. The courses are rewarding, exhilarating and highly enjoyable. Delivery is through a balanced mix of independent study, classroom discussion, surface, pool and open water training, producing confident, highly competent, thinking, technical divers.
The quality you want and the training you expect.
It is important to remember that technical diving is not something everyone will embrace. Those who are attracted to learn more about this type of diving will find it to be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences in diving.

Technical Diving can be (and is) done well, or badly, done intelligently or ineptly- the point is to do it well and intelligently- for so many reasons. Performing technical diving well is not only a matter of acquiring a body of knowledge (knowing 'what'), but is more like playing the piano well; it is as much 'knowing how' as 'knowing what'. The interweb is not the best place for either of these. Think on that.
Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. (Shakespeare, Twelth Night, Act II Scene V)
