Technical Diving Division |
 NAUI Technical Diving Division was started in 1997 with the goal of creating a higher standard of training worldwide by codifying technical community training practices. For expert help, we asked the people who created the technology, protocols and training methods that produced a technical diving community. We formed advisory councils comprised of professional divers, engineers, physicians and researchers to help us develop all aspects of our training. This resulted in the formation of a Technical Training Advisory Board and Rebreather Advisory Board to assist in the development of technical diving standards and training.
NAUI Technical Diving Division has implemented policies that will assure the diver of the highest technical instructor quality. As a result, NAUI Instructors can provide you with the skills, knowledge and discipline to manage technical diving while minimizing risk. NAUI TECHNICAL TRAINING ADVISORY BOARD | Chairman | Capt.
