UK IANTD Instructor Recommendations Please

**PhilSiswick** · 21st September 2007, 22:02

Hi All,

My wife is looking to do her Vision Mod 1 (or whatever it is really called ;-) this Autumn or early next year. She'd like to do it with IANTD, so that she can do Advanced Rec Trimix at the same time (as I have done).

The challenge is that she's looking to do it over two weekends, rather than in the more normal 4-5 days straight, due to holiday constraints. We have been recommended someone, but they only do PSAI and therefore (as far as I can tell, can't combine with mix for Mod 1).

Can anyone recommend someone who does IANTD CCR and ART over separate weekends? Location is southern end of the UK preferred, as we're based in Oxford, but will travel a sensible distance for the right instructor.

Many thanks in advance,

Al Wright at Closed Circuit Rebreathers teaches IANTD and is a great instructor.

Excellent - thanks, I'll contact him.

BTW for others who reply - sorry if there's a delay before I reply to you. I'm actually off diving this weekend!

Cheers,

Give Richie Stevenson a ring at Deep Blue Tech, can't recommend him highly enough, not sure if he can do the 2 w/end bit but you can ask the question!

Dave Thompson (dave t on RBW) teaches IANTD and IART. He is in southern part of UK (i.e. Bornemouth ?)

Learn from the person who invents the unit...

If you fancied combining your course with a week diving Scapa Flow then either myself or John Thornton could conduct both courses.I know you said over 2 weekends,but it is always worth a week in Scapa.

Thanks to all who replied. I'll follow up on your suggestions.

May be a little late in the game, but Martin Robson from Eau2 Technical diver training, cave diver training, trimix and rebreather courses in UK, Europe and World-wide is a great IANTD instructor too.
