ITDA Advanced sCUBA Diving

And Specialist Diving

ITDA Group International believe that the title of "Advanced Diver" should really denote a diver with a real advanced knowledge of diving theory, advanced diving skills, and a broader range of diving experience then average "Open Water Divers"...

About Our Advanced Programs

Whereas many Sports Diving Agencies allow the title of "Advanced Diver" directly from certification as an Open Water Diver and with as little as under a total of 10 dives experience, how can this possibly make anyone an "Advanced Diver"?

We consider a diver with less tha 10 Open Water dives to be a novice. (All ITDA Entry Level Scuba Courses recommend at least 10 Open Water Dives experience before diving "Unsupervised".)

Specialist Levels

We also offer a unique approach to "Specialist Diver Training and Certifications". With our three (3) levels of Advanced Diver Certification. Which is open also to divers from any agency to gain advanced diving experience and certification.

Level 1. 2-4 Dives for the Introduction level. With basic theory and skills in the Specialist Level. This can be acheived from Resort Diver Level...

Offering entry level divers an "introduction" to specialist training and also offering our professionals additional certification programs from enrty levels. Link to ITDA Advanced Diving Overview

Level 2. 4-6 Dives for the certification of "Specialist Diver Level". Divers at this level maybe Certified as Specialist Divers... Upgrade from level 1...

Level 3. 6+ Dives, having completed levels 1,2 and 3 would qualify for the rating / title of "Advanced Specialist Diver". Upgrade from level 2.

Most popular Advanced Diving Programs are our Wreck Diver and Deco Diver Certifications...

Advanced Specialist

An ITDA Group Advanced Specialist Diver will have a minimum of 10 to 12 dives in the specialist area, with advanced skills and theory knowledge also in that subject. Making them really an "Advanced Diver"....

Our Advanced Specialist Level is also "Open to Divers from other Agencies to gain real Specialist Certifications".
