See what tech diving is all about
PADI? BSAC? SAA? CMAS? SDI? Underwater Explorers is where the technical diving experience begins, based on safe and sound foundations.
Our Intro to Technical Diving or 1 day Intro to Twins let recreational divers try out twinset systems, see what diving in wings is all about, fine tune hose routing and donation techniques, work on advanced buoyancy and trim, see various propulsion methods and gather what technical diving entails with a new experience.
Located across Portland's main dive boat jetty on the coast of hundreds of wrecks and renown for its dedication to sound technical advice and training, Underwater Explorers is the place to start your adventure into technical diving.
This course will help you improve on your skills and make you a more proficient diver regardless of whether you intend to "get more technical". Includes required equipment.
