This Workshop introduces divers to the interesting aspects of Technical Diving and provides an opportunity to ask questions and to try out technical diving equipment in a pool and in an open water environment. Join technical diving experts Joel Silverstein and Capt. Gordon Boivin for an exciting and informative weekend program.
During this workshop we will discuss:

The workshop will start in the Evening at 7PM and runs for three hours with and after class round-table discussion. The Next morning (8:00 am) we will conduct an equipment workshop where divers can rig their own equipment under expert supervision and / or get fitted for equipment sets that we will provide for use. From there we will conduct a pool session for weighting and basic skills. After the pool session we will conduct two beach dives at Shaw's Cove. Divers can use single tanks or twin tanks and still be exposed to the skills an techniques applied to technical diving.
