Advanced Hogarthian Diver

IANTD ADVANCED HOGARTHIAN DIVER

Course

This innovative IANTD specialty program offers the fundamental knowledge to increase the proficiency and safety of the advanced or technical diver in diving through practice and training in the use of the Hogarthian minimalist system, which is already widely used in speleo-underwater exploration.

It introduces and lays the foundations for any future course in advanced and technical diving, in wrecks or in caves and obstructed environments in general.

It further improves the level of training of expert divers.

It teaches new drive systems and improves posture and posture.

This shows that IANTD was the first to promote and teach it to a wider audience of divers who are not involved in speleo-underwater research.
