Located in San Pawl Il-Bahar, Technical Diving Training is a dedicated hub for divers looking to move beyond recreational limits. The centre focuses on the precision and skill required for technical diving, providing a structured environment for those pursuing advanced certifications.
By working in collaboration with WaterWorld Malta and Dawn Diving in Qawra, the centre ensures that all activities are organised professionally and comply with local regulations. This setup allows for a more focused experience, often taking you to sites that remain untouched by the high volume of standard recreational diving.
The centre is led by Dora Farkas, a highly qualified TDI/SDI Trainer. Her expertise covers a broad spectrum of technical disciplines, including Full Cave Diver, as well as instructor-level training for rEvo and Halcyon Symbios rebreathers.
Training is conducted in English, with a philosophy that prioritises skill mastery and rigorous rescue exercises. The approach is designed to build confidence through excellence in learning, ensuring you are prepared for the complexities of technical environments.
The course catalogue is extensive, catering to divers at various stages of their technical progression. You can begin with Helitrox or Advanced Nitrox before moving into more complex territory such as TDI AN+DP, Extended Range, or the Advanced Trimix (hypoxic) course.
Specialised skills training is also available, including Sidemount, DPV (diver propulsion vehicle) courses, and Advanced Wreck. For those moving into the rebreather realm, the centre offers dedicated CCR courses.
The centre's retail shop stocks high-end technical equipment, specifically featuring Halcyon and Santi brands. This provides access to specialised kit suited for the demands of technical and sidemount diving.
For those training in advanced gases, Nitrox, Trimix, and rebreather support are integrated into the centre's technical offerings.
