About us

Our Mission

IANTD’s mission is to explore the opportunities and challenges of Recreational Diving, which includes all forms of Sport Diving, Nitrox, Advanced and Technical diving, in order to foster openness and individual responsibility, and to provide a standard of care for instruction in the diving community. IANTD and its members strive to be honest, ethical and fair in all our venues. We also believe that there are universal principles that are more absolute. We try to live by them.

International Association of Nitrox & technical divers

We are IANTD

We has been at the cutting edge of diver training for more than 40 years. From the first nitrox course in the world to our Tek Lite programs which allow for reduced narcosis in the entry-level tech depth range, through to CCR Cave and Expedition Trimix, we've been setting the standard since the very beginning.

We offer a complete range of training courses from Open Water Diver through to Expedition Trimix using both open and closed circuit equipment and a full range of cave diver training programs. Our instructor trainers and instructors represent some of the very best technical divers and educators in the USA and all over the world.

All our programs, from entry level upwards, equip a diver with the skills and knowledge to become a safe, responsible, self-sufficient diver, in depth survival skills mentally and physically. It's a philosophy reflected in our Open Water Nitrox Diver course - why not start with the safety benefits of Nitrox from your very first dive? - and continues throughout all our training programs.

In 1985, we released the world's first enriched air diver certification - 10 years before other agencies followed suit. Since then, we've stayed at the very forefront of diver education, leading the way so that others may follow.
