TECHNICAL DIVING AT SILENT WORLD

At Silent World we live for technical diving. We have created a blend of technical retail, charters and instruction that we believe is unique in North America. Whilst most traditional tech instructors continue to teach out of their house and conduct 'open water' training in a quarry or grotto, we have built a state of the art classroom at our retail facility right on the ocean in the Florida Keys. We have our own tech instructors, we stock all the top lines of technical diving gear for sale and rent, and most importantly - we own our own boats. This allows us to offer technical diving or training on any of our Wreck Trips in addition to our scheduled and custom tech only trips.

All of the Silent World staff have received training as Technical Divers and Tech Gas Blenders. We are successful at supporting tech divers because we are tech divers! We have a full compliment of steel and aluminum tanks for both open and closed circuit diving. CO2 absorbent, deco bottles, bailout, Helium analyzers, dry suits, regulators, backplates & wings, Primary lights, back up lights, wet notes, trimix computers, V-planner/deco planner, reels, spools, SMB's - you name it, we've got it! Want to take the hassle out of your tech diving trip? Book it with Silent World!

Silent World is proud to hold the ratings of GUE, PADI & TDI 5* Dive Center and IANTD Platinum Facility. Come and see why the professionals choose Silent World for their tec charters and tec trips
