(for recreational diving, see our UTD Essentials of Recreational Diving DVD). This Essentials of Overhead DVD offers an in-depth approach by demonstrating the core technical skills needed by all divers - instructors/students/technical/cave/wreck - interested in become safer, more proficient and ultimately part of a "Thinking Team."

Technical instructor voice-over highlights key points. "Grease Pencil" illustrations flesh out even more detail, and increase visual retention. While certainly not the only skills required for safe technical diving, these skills form the nucleus for the Essentials of Tech class, and build a solid foundation for anyone aspring to become a technical/wreck/cave diver. Each video skill is narrated by accomplished Technical Instructors, including UTD Founder Andrew Georgitsis, and is presented in an unique format. First, a complete and uninterrupted video shows the skill being performed with explanations as to "why" the skill is important. Next, the exact same video is replayed, with the addition of key pauses, where the instructors use an "on-screen grease pencil" and explain "how" we do a skill including subtitles and other instructions. It's an excellent way to both visualize the skill and hear the key points before you take your class. Then during the class the instructor will reference these skills videos, and after class you can review each skill and compare and contrast your team's performance. These DVD's are easy to use and intelligently laid out to allow you to see only the skills you want, or all of them in sequence. Bonus skills are added which involve a greater mastery of the foundational technical skills - they are included as a useful "signpost" to where you may want to take your Technical Diving.
