Audrey Cudel Technical

Based in Victoria, Gozo, Audrey Cudel Technical is a specialised training hub for divers looking to move beyond recreational limits. The centre operates with a focus on technical proficiency, specifically targeting sidemount, decompression procedures, and overhead environment penetrations.

While the primary base is in the Mediterranean, the centre’s expertise extends globally through operations in the cenotes of Tulum and Puerto Aventuras in Mexico, as well as the cave systems of France. This international reach allows for a truly comprehensive approach to cave and technical training, following the most demanding environments in the world.

The centre is led by Audrey Cudel, a highly experienced TDI SDI Instructor Trainer and Full Cave Evaluator. With over 30 years in the industry, she brings a level of expertise that goes beyond standard certification, focusing on adaptive training tailored to the individual diver's needs and skill level.

As an ambassador for SANTI and SEACRAFT and a partner of DAN, the centre maintains a strong connection to technical diving standards and safety. Instruction is provided in both English and French, catering to a diverse range of technical divers seeking to refine their skills or progress through the instructor pathway via TDI Instructor Evaluations.

The course catalogue is designed for divers seeking advanced technical skills. For those moving into sidemount, the centre offers both Sidemount and Technical Sidemount courses. Overhead environment training is a core specialty, covering Cavern Diver, Intro to Cave Diver, and Full Cave Diver certifications.

Technical depth and decompression training include Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures. The centre also provides specialised training in DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicles) and Wreck Diving. For professionals, TDI Instructor Evaluation is available to assist in career progression.

The centre operates a specialised online boutique for technical divers, stocking essential kit including sidemount systems, cave lighting, drysuits, dive computers, and cylinders. This ensures that divers can access high-quality, specific equipment required for technical or overhead diving.

On-site, Nitrox is available for divers, and the centre is equipped to support rebreather diving. The focus on technical disciplines means the facility is geared towards the specific needs of the sidemount and CCR community.
