What you’ll learn

The UTD Essential of Recreational course is designed to introduce divers in the world of DIR Diving (Doing It Right), and cultivate the core techniques required by all sound diving practices, regardless of level or environment.  With this course students receive the foundation of UTD/DIR philosophy, configuration, and in-water skills. The class is designed for any diver who wants to learn about the benefits of being a UTD thinking diver and apply them to their diving. The class is not only geared toward the newly certified open water diver, but even seasoned veteran divers have found that by incorporating UTD principles into their diving practices, they increase both safety and fun.
Photographers and videographers will especially appreciate the detailed training in propulsion & precision buoyancy control that assists you in getting that perfect shot!This is a great first step towards learning and understanding the Unified Team Diving approach.

Duration

Essentials of Rec is normally conducted over a 3-day period combining theory lectures, practical (in-water) sessions, and video debriefings. When you buy a UTD course, you pay for training not for a “plastic reward for participation”. We will give you the ability to look at your strengths and weaknesses, and during the class, we can expand on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses. Some students might need more coaching or just more time to master certain aspects of the course. You can always do so by seeking out more training outside the curriculum and the time constraints of the standard course layout.
