TDI standards stipulate that it is mandatory that all students have their own course manuals for use during the course & to retain for reference afterwards. It is HIGHLY recommended that you read the course materials and complete the relevant Knowledge Reviews prior to your arrival. This way we are able to reduce the time spent in the classroom and concentrate on developing and implementing your new technical diving skills. Should you wish we can arrange for your course manual(s) to be posted to your home address which gives you plenty of time for you to study prior to your arrival.
The technical courses and organised technical diving that we offer at Gozo Aqua Sports often result in you operating at depths that are not covered by standard holiday insurance. In most cases you will find that even your normal scuba diving insurance is restrictive. It is a requirement that any diver wishing to use our services must carry the relevant personal insurance and without this we will unfortunately not be able to accommodate you.
