UK TDI or IANTD inspiration instructor

leakybreather · 18th October 2007, 09:59

Can anyone recommend a UK IANTD or TDI instructor for MOD1 on the inspiration ?

I'm not sure if there is much difference in the courses and I'm open to advice of which course to take

I would like if possible to hire a unit for myself while my wife trains on a unit that we will buy for the course, I'm sure if this will narrow the field of instructors ?

I would recommend Richard Stevenson -> Deep Blue Diving

Another recommendation for Gary Fox. He has units for loan for the course and you get a tour of APD's factory if you want.

Some recommendations for instructors at http://www.rebreatherworld.com/rebre...ntd+instructor

and http://www.rebreatherworld.com/rebre...ctor+recommend

By all accounts, you won't go much wrong with any of these folks. I did Mod 1 with Rich Stevenson and recommend him, his operation, Plymouth and the boat highly. I know others who have done Rebreather courses with Dave Thompson and MR Diving and recommend them highly.

Good luck and enjoy.

Cheers,

Hi there

Completed my mod1 this Aug with Rich Stevenson. Course was 100% . Rich pull out all the stops for us including two units for hire and then supply of new units. Highly recommended.

Cheers

I did the MOD1 with Gary and am booked on the MOD2 with Rich. I've heard great reports on both and can personally recommend Gary (who has spare units), and I know folk that highly recommend Rich (who also has spare units from what I believe).

I have just finished my BSAC Mod 1 inspiration vision course with Dennis Wigg, you dont have to be a bsac member to do the bsac course and it IS a good course.

While I had a nice "box fresh" vision that I had bought, he can get hold of units for people to train if they dont have their own.

I can highly recommend Dennis, I alo did my Drager course with him a couple of years back.
