Technical Diving Training in LA area?

[fastro]

Hi Everybody,

I am interested in learning more about tek diving but have been finding it hard to find anyone in the LA area who does any advanced classes. I have looked over the tek diving section and a lot of the shops in the area, but have not had a lot of success. I would appreciate any info on dive shops in the South Bay area in particular who teach some of the more advanced tek classes.

Thanks!
Dan

That's way outside my stompin grounds but isn't Michael Kane (MHK) out there? It's hard to believe that there isn't a bunch of tech training going on in that area.

Try SoCal Tech Divers. I believe they do their introductory classes through Eco Dive Center on Sepulveda in West LA.

Call up Richard at Xtreme Scuba in Ventura. They even have a rebreather club

You could call Karim at Hollywood Divers (Hollywoodivers) and ask him about tech training. He is associated with Michael Kane (MHK) and would be able to give you more info about learning through GUE if that's something that you have interest in.

Try Grant Graves at Malibu Divers. I know he teaches PADI Tec-Rec, and might be qualified to do more formal technical training as well (not sure though).

Joel Silverstein and Jeff Bozanic have both taught tec and rebreather classes at Laguna Sea Sports in the last year. Scuba Toys up in Cypress used to have tech classes, but I think it has been awhile. They are now owned by Beach Cities.
