From solo diving to CCRs
The Dive Show TekDeck: talks this year will feature solo diving, GUE configuration, sidemounts and five different CCRs.
Solo diving, sidemounts, shutdown procedures, GUE configurations – and the Inspiration, Sentinel, Redbare, SF2 and JJ CCRs – will be among topics on the agenda when TekDeck returns to DIVE 2018 later this month.
And as part of an initiative at DIVE 2018 to encourage younger divers, accomplished tech-dive instructor Robert Thomas will be on stage each day with a “Young Technical Divers” talk.

Designed to appeal not only to the growing body of established tekkies but also all those qualified leisure divers considering the next step in their evolution, TekDeck has made a big impact at previous Dive Shows.
For DIVE 2018, TekDeck coordinator Mark Powell has lined up an array of technical instructors with long experience, all happy to share their expertise.
The TekDeck stage will be located in the main dive show hall right beside the TekPool, where instructors from L.P. Diving will be laying on a range of rebreathers and other new tech kit for visitors to try out.
