- UTD Essentials of Tech | FlowState Divers
WHO IS THIS CLASS DESIGNED FOR? The Essentials of Technical Diving is where students receive the foundation of UTD/DIR philosophy, configuration, and in-water skills. The class is designed for any diver that wants to learn about the benefits of UTD and apply them to their diving. The class is not only geared toward the beginner tech diver, but even seasoned veteran tech 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! Instructors will appreciate the “fresh look” at diver training and skill development. This is a great first step towards learning and understanding the Unified Team Diving approach. WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS CLASS? Regardless of your experience level, UTD philosophy allows you to grow as a diver. Some divers are eager to begin incorporating the increased skill and academic demands of UTD but do not have the desire to become deep technical divers. This class is tailor made for aspiring recreational divers who wants to know what skills they need to work on, or for the diver new to UTD who wants to learn more without the burden of passing a class. This class serves as an excellent introduction to UTD Technical classes, and is perfect for someone who wants to start in technical diving. WHY TRAIN WITH US? At FlowState Divers , we proudly stand apart as an elite group of dive professionals with extensive backgrounds in Cave and Technical diving. What sets us apart from the rest is our unique approach; we don't just teach, we teach as we dive. Our unwavering commitment to excellence drives us to be the best of the best in the diving world. When you train with us, you're not just learning the skills; you're embarking on a journey to exceed industry standards. Our students emerge from our programs as self-aware and utterly badass divers, well-prepared to explore the underwater world with confidence and expertise. Sidemount The UTD Essentials of Technical Diving course serves as an entry point for technical courses. This program offer divers the opportunity to acquire the essential diving skills required to engage in collaborative team diving and maintain safety and control while underwater, adhering to the DIR philosophy of being a "thinking diver." The course commences with a focus on proper breathing, which is the foundation for achieving buoyancy control. Achieving precise buoyancy, along with a streamlined horizontal body position, is the hallmark of a skilled Scuba Diver, symbolizing mastery of water control. As you progress, you'll learn to effortlessly maintain your position in the water, which sets the stage for the acquisition of additional skills. These include mastering five distinct kicks (frog-kick, modified frog-kick, modified flutter-kick, helicopter turn, and back-kick) that minimise sediment disturbance and enhance your control for both forward and backward movements. The curriculum also covers advanced techniques such as proper air-sharing procedures known as S-drills, team protocols, the utilisation of Surface Marker Buoys (SMBs), comprehensive gas planning, and proper ascent strategies. Additionally, you will delve into the intricacies of managing a twinset, including the Valve Drill and the rationale behind regulator configurations. The course also addresses working with a stage/deco cylinder. If you have an interest in acquiring these skills but aren't yet inclined toward technical diving, the Essentials of Rec program is a suitable alternative. Importantly, you can seamlessly transition from Rec to Tech without starting over. The Essentials of Technical Diving is typically conducted in open water at depths of 6-10 meters. This personalized class equips you to venture into technical depths by enhancing your mastery of buoyancy, trim, and propulsion. It also introduces more advanced air-sharing techniques and deco bottle handling protocols, along with complex gas planning and ascent strategies. Overall, the Essentials of Technical Diving acts as a vital link between traditional training and the more rigorous technical curriculum offered by UTD. Its primary goal is to develop you into a "Thinking Diver," whether you plan to pursue further tech training or simply aspire to become a highly skilled recreational diver. If the Essentials of Tech incorporates Nitrox academics, it includes a Nitrox certification allowing you to dive to a maximum depth of 18 meters. PREREQUISITES • Minimum age of 18 years of age. • UTD Recreational Diver 2 (Advanced Diver) or equivalent. • Minimum of 50 dives beyond open water certification, 25 of which must be non-training dives.

- PADI Rescue Diver | Scuba Course | Tenerife
Rescue Diver This course is for scuba divers who want to acquire the knowledge and skills to prevent and - if necessary - manage dive emergencies. It aims to expand their awareness and improve their abilities, resulting in increased confidence. We believe that all divers should take the Rescue Diver Course, regardless of being recreational divers or planning to continue training to become dive professionals. Not only will it benefit you, but it will also provide a sense of security for your dive buddies. The PADI Rescue Diver Course is a challenging and fulfilling continuing education program that teaches individuals to recognize and handle dive emergencies, manage accidents, provide emergency oxygen and even fix common equipment issues. All while testing their physical endurance. The course will positively change your diving experience by enabling you to identify and resolve minor problems before they escalate, boost your confidence, and make diving more enjoyable. During the course, you will learn how to recognize the signs of diver stress and be ready to assist a fellow diver in need, whether at the surface, underwater or on land. It equips you with the tools and techniques to handle emergencies swiftly, correctly and in a coordinated manner. The coursework may appear daunting at first glance, but once you complete it, you'll become a more confident and self-aware diver. You don't need to work toward a professional certification to sign up for the Rescue Diver Course; many divers complete it to improve their diving skills and safety. Note that to enrol for a Rescue Diver course, you need an EFR certificate (Primary and Secondary Care). If you haven't had it, you can do an EFR course during Rescue Diver. The cost of the EFR Course is 200 euros. Why is this course unique ? Our goal is to equip you with all the necessary skills to be a competent dive partner by the end of the Rescue course. Unlike other dive centres, we prioritise in-depth training over a quick certification; so our students have time to master rescue skills and are prepared to handle real emergencies effectively. We will thoroughly cover and repeatedly practise all exercises and scenarios, both in a controlled roleplay setting and in realistic, "unplanned" situations ensuring comprehensive training. Furthermore, we provide our students with speciality dive gear inspired by technical diving, which will enhance safety, comfort, and performance. This gear is not typically available to entry-level divers, so it gives our students an edge over others and prepares them for the more advanced levels of scuba diving. Our exclusive training program is helping our students to achieve their full potential as divers and providing them with the foundation for their diving progression in the future. Why train with us ? We are highly skilled and experienced professionals with a background in cave and technical diving. We've used our expertise to develop an exceptional course beyond the traditional boundaries of standard training. We prefer an adaptive teaching approach, which prioritises student-centred learning and adjusts instruction to meet each student's unique needs and abilities. With this strategy, we can identify and address any difficulties or areas of confusion you may experience and provide the support and guidance you need to be successful. We believe that every individual should receive proper attention during their training; therefore, our courses have a low student-teacher ratio of 3:1 maximum, ensuring that you receive personalised instruction throughout the program. 5 IN-WATER SESSIONS 4 DAYS OF TRAINING MAX. 18M OF DEPTH What You Learn • Techniques to save yourself and other divers • Recognising how to prevent emergencies • Rescue skills that can save lives • Fixing minor gear issues • Handling emergency situations What You Earn ✓ PADI Rescue Diver certificate ✓ Self-confidence as a diver ✓ Improved diving skills ✓ FlowState Membership ✓ Continuous education at discounted prices I.

- Night Dive | Guided Dive | Tenerife
Night Dive We are very enthusiastic about night diving so join us to explore the darkness around the island. As you submerge in the dark, you will meet a new world of marine life that comes out of hiding to play at night. The vibrant colours of aquatic animals are more pronounced under the beam of your dive light, and you never know what kind of nocturnal creatures you might come across. The tranquillity and serenity of diving at night are truly unmatched, and it's an experience that every diver should try at least once. Even if you're an experienced night diver, there's always something new to discover and explore. At night we only see what we illuminate with a flashlight; our field of vision narrows, and we see much more details. Small / Private Groups At FlowState Divers, the safety and well-being of our divers are paramount, so we limit our groups to maximum of 3 divers / guide . This ensures that everyone is closely watched and paying attention to one another while diving. Dive Gear We do provide absolutely the best quality equipment to all our diver included in the price.

CERT) TRANSFER INCLUDED RECREATIONAL LEVEL 365 Days of Diving Located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa, Tenerife is the largest of the seven Canary Islands and is a part of Spain. Due to the subtropical climate it has warm temperatures year-round. Given the location of the island in the Atlantic Ocean and its proximity to the Gulf Stream, it has regulated water temperatures all year round - the lowest is 18° C/64° F (winter) and the highest is 23-24°C/73-75° F (summer). Marine Fauna Night diving offers a different perspective of the underwater world as compared to day diving. As sunset signals the end of the day for some animals, it marks the beginning of activity for many nocturnal creatures. Divers may have the opportunity to observe unique marine life, including squids, octopuses, eels, sea urchins, shrimps, lobsters, and crabs, that are more active at night. Additionally, there are lots of different shrimps, lobsters, and crabs that show up only at night. One of the fascinating aspects of night diving is the opportunity to witness bioluminescence, where plankton-like organisms emit light when stimulated underwater. To fully appreciate this phenomenon, you should cover your flashlights and move your arms in the water, creating a mesmerizing display of tiny flashes of lights around you. Dive Sites Tenerife boasts a unique and mesmerizing volcanic topography beneath the surface. The island offers an array of excellent shore dive locations for divers of all levels, from shallow lava tubes at around 10 meters to depths of over 100 meters for rebreather enthusiasts.

Alternatively, if your goal is to extend your recreational dives while emphasising safety through the use of double tanks, this course is the perfect choice. WHY TRAIN WITH US? At FlowState Divers , we proudly stand apart as an elite group of dive professionals with extensive backgrounds in Cave and Technical diving. What sets us apart from the rest is our unique approach; we don't just teach, we dive as we teach. Our unwavering commitment to excellence drives us to be the best of the best in the diving world. When you train with us, you're not just learning the skills; you're embarking on a journey to exceed industry standards. Our students emerge from our programs as self-aware and utterly badass divers, well-prepared to explore the underwater world with confidence and expertise. Doubles Mini The Doubles mini training is designed to introduce and train divers in the use of the double tank back mount configuration. Double tanks, also known as "Doubles" or “Twinset” offer an advantage over single tanks by providing complete redundancy and larger gas volumes. However, balancing and trimming doubles can pose a challenge due to the additional cylinder and gear. As doubles feature two valves, two first stages, and a manifold, it is essential for the diver to possess a comprehensive understanding of the individual workings of each valve, as well as how they collectively function in the system, to ensure safe diving with the equipment. Throughout the academic segment of this course, divers acquire knowledge about the principles of Double Tank Diving, appropriate weighting, the types, functions, and purposes of isolatable manifolds, as well as normal and emergency procedures. During the land drills divers receive instruction regarding the setup, configuration, care and maintenance of the back mount system. They engage in valve drills, and explore various scenarios by simulating the “9 failures”. Throughout two in-water sessions, divers, in collaboration with the instructor, have the time and opportunity to properly adjust their weighting and trim, engage in valve drills, and successfully fulfil the necessary tasks for certification.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this process. How should I plan my schedule before and after diving? Diving is physically demanding, so it is important to ensure you are well-rested and not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substances that may impair your attention. Get a good night's sleep before diving and have a meal before your dive. What should I bring with me on the day of my dive? Please bring a towel and dry clothes for after the dive.

It is recommended to avoid flying and high-altitude activities for at least 12 hours after diving to prevent potential decompression-related issues. How can I book a scuba activity?

Sidemount Workshop Achieving proper Sidemount diving technique is a meticulous process that cannot be effectively learned through videos or taking a - typically oversimplified recreational course. As sidemount diving gaining its popularity over the years, it’s getting increasingly common to encounter divers underwater with dangling cylinders, and wrong harness configurations that not just pose a massive safety risk but also limit the overall joy factor’ of the diver. To address the above, we designed a unique Sidemount Workshop that helps you to get the most out of your sidemount diving experience by teaching you the tricks in a form of a private session. Each session includes land training that incorporate equipment streamlining, entry/exit techniques, refinement of your propulsion and weighting as well as an actual dive where you can put all this into practice. You either have a specific issue you would like to work out or need a refresher, we offer the following areas to cover during a session: Fundamental sidemount skills Equipment configuration/streamlining Propulsion techniques Diver’s weighting/trim Proper safety drills Entry/Exit techniques Rescue techniques All our sessions are recorded and analysed with your instructor after the dive, in an attempt to maximize your learning curve. Why Sidemount with Us? At FlowState Divers we are dedicated to the art of sidemount diving done "properly", which requires more than just attaching the tanks to one's side. We possess a deep understanding of this technique and have extensive experience diving exclusively on this setup, in caves and other environments. Our proficiency and experience is unmatched on the island of Tenerife in terms of diving sidemount. We encourage you to use your own harness during the workshop so we can help you configure it correctly if needed.
