Proditech

Located in Gijón, Proditech serves a specific niche within the diving community, moving beyond recreational tourism to focus on professional and technical excellence. The centre is officially recognised by the government of the Principado de Asturias, establishing it as a serious hub for high-level training.

Whether you are looking to enter the professional sector or advance your technical capabilities, the centre provides the framework required for demanding underwater environments. Their curriculum is built around rigorous standards, catering to both civilian professionals and emergency response teams.

The centre operates with a high level of expertise, holding dual accreditation from SSI and ERDI (Emergency Response Diving International). This allows them to offer specialised training that bridges the gap between recreational diving and professional rescue operations.

Instruction is geared towards high-stakes disciplines, including Public Safety Diving (PSD), aquatic rescue, and underwater welding and cutting. This makes the centre a primary destination for members of the police, military, and firefighting services seeking to formalise their underwater skills.

Beyond rescue, the team provides instruction in technical diving through the SSI XR and TXR programmes, as well as SDI Research Diver training. They also facilitate specialised certifications for marine resource collectors, ensuring divers are prepared for the practicalities of professional underwater work.

The course catalogue at Proditech is extensive, ranging from foundational skills to highly advanced technical certifications. For those starting their journey, they offer Pequeña Profundidad and Buceador de 2ª Clase/Media Profundidad (2nd Class/Medium Depth Diver) training.

Technical divers can progress through the SSI XR and TXR programmes, or pursue SDI Research Diver certifications. The centre is also a specialist hub for rebreather training and Trimix diving, catering to those looking to push their depth and duration limits.

Professional and rescue-oriented divers can access specific programmes including Public Safety Diving (PSD), Buceo de Rescate y Rescate Acuático (Rescue and Aquatic Rescue), and ERDI emergency response training. They also offer specialised courses for Operador de Cámara Hiperbárica (Hyperbaric Chamber Operator) and Recolector de Recursos Marinos (Marine Resource Collector).

The facility is equipped to support technical and professional divers, offering access to rebreather technology and Trimix gases. This makes it a viable base for divers undertaking advanced decompression or exploration training.
