Our NAUI NTEC Doubles Workshop is a Primer program that acts as an awakening of sorts. It introduces the Recreational Diver to diving with the most beneficial doubles equipment configuration and foundational skills. Theres are skills that all divers should have.

The NTEC Workshop is the perfect starting point for the path towards more disciplined and polished diving skills and techniques. It is a crossover to our style of diving from the more pedestrian Diver Courses offered by the majority of dive shops around the world.

NTEC is a mini workshop/experience program that outlines the benefits of diving with a more streamlined, simple, safe and comfortable doubles equipment configuration. Also setting up more skills oriented double tank dives. It prepares the diver for the NAUI Intro to Tech Course, which is the most challenging course enroute to becoming a cave/technical diver.

NAUI NTEC is a hands on opportunity for divers to rig their gear properly under our supervision to start utilizing the most modern methods of skill in this configuration.

WHY TAKE THIS?

Diving is something that is always evolving, improving and changing through new technology, training and experiences.  The concepts we implement and the way we think of posture, trim and technique gets taken to a new level of excellence.  The average recreational diver has typically not been taught anything about trim, posture, streamlining themselves in water, or simplifying the equipment configuration.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

NTEC introduces divers to streamlining gear for example how to clean up your existing equipment configuration. Re-route hoses that are too long or too short and provide the diver with knowledge as to why their gear needs to be reconfigured or streamlined.

With NTEC, we utilize the use of a longer primary regulator hose. In an out of air emergency to the out of air diver, while retaining the alternate air source quickly and easily because its located on a necklace around your neck.  Through additional streamlining we start removing all the “danglies” off the divers equipment. Thus creating a sleeker, more efficient diver profile.

The “Traditional” equipment configuration that is commonly used in diving has become dated and obsolete and needs revision. This is where the NAUI Recreational Equipment Configuration has truly become “Today’s Equipment Configuration” for divers of all skill level. From Open Water to Technical, Extreme Exposure Trimix, DPV, and Cave Diver.  It really is a multi-purpose, uniformed way to dive.

Upon successful completion of this workshop, students will be free to enrol in our NAUI Intro to Tech Course.
