How the course works
Diving with a technical rig is very different from a recreational BCD. If you are a qualified PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver diver you can use nitrox in the twinset. Do one more dive and some theory to earn PADI Tec Basics.
Where you dive in Aqaba
Technical courses run from our boat, with twinsets and blended gases. For trimix courses helium is charged per litre, see the prices page.
