NAUI Technical Diver Courses address particularized areas of technical diving. Accordingly, technical courses are designed to provide more detailed training than specialty diver courses and result in more extensive qualifications. In these instances, the qualifications are described in the respective technical course standard. They provide divers the opportunity to enjoy organized diving, which yields experience and documents training in technical diving activities. Instructors with expertise in specific areas of technical diving may design their own technical training courses also.

Note: Members and affiliates operating within areas under the United States of America’s Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) jurisdiction are advised that dives described in the NAUI Standards may be inconsistent with workplace safety rules. Employee participation in activities that are inconsistent with current workplace safety rules are not condoned by these standards.

Unless otherwise stated, course participants shall comply with NOAA standards for oxygen time and depth exposures. However, NAUI recommends a maximum of 1.5 PO 2 ATA for Technical EANx and 1.4 PO 2 ATA for all other technical courses.
