Extreme Watersports offers open-circuit technical diving courses certified through PADI and TDI, designed for divers progressing beyond recreational limits into decompression and advanced technical diving. Our technical courses focus on structured training, disciplined procedures, and real-world execution rather than accelerated certification.
The open-circuit technical diving courses offered include:

• Entry-Level Technical Diving Courses
• Decompression Procedures Courses
• Advanced / Deep Technical Diving Courses
• Technical Sidemount Courses

Training may include controlled or confined-water skill development when required, with primary technical dives and advanced execution conducted from our Fujairah branch, where appropriate depth and conditions allow meaningful technical diving experience.

Certifications available through PADI and TDI.

Open-circuit technical diving allows divers to safely exceed recreational depth and time limits through planned decompression, redundancy, and disciplined execution. Unlike recreational diving, technical dives are planned in advance with defined runtimes, gas requirements, and ascent profiles that must be followed precisely.

At Extreme Watersports, technical diving training emphasizes:

• Precise buoyancy and trim control
• Controlled ascents and decompression discipline
• Gas planning and redundancy management
• Standardized team procedures
• Repeatable and conservative dive execution

Our technical diving courses are structured to support divers at different stages of progression, ensuring skills are developed before advancing to more complex profiles.

Training Structure & Locations

Technical training follows a structured pathway that combines theory, skill development, and open-water technical dives. Controlled-water environments may be used when required to refine skills or configuration, while the majority of technical dives and advanced execution are conducted in Fujairah, where conditions support deeper open-circuit technical diving.

PADI & TDI Technical Diving Pathways

Extreme Watersports provides technical diving certification through both PADI and TDI, allowing divers to select the agency that best aligns with their certification background and long-term goals. Both agencies are internationally recognized and follow structured technical diving standards.

Our instructors will advise on the most appropriate pathway based on:

• Current certification level
• Logged dive experience
• Equipment configuration preferences
• Future technical diving objectives

Equipment & Configuration

Open-circuit technical diving requires specialized equipment and standardized configuration. Divers may use twinset or technical sidemount systems, along with stage and decompression cylinders. Equipment requirements are discussed during course planning, and purchases can be staged according to training progression.

Not Sure Where to Start?
