        ITDA- TEAM ITDA

       Who are We?

We are a training and Certification agency for the Diving industry and so much more...

ITDA were formed in 1998 from a growing need for higher standards, higher education and safer training, to combat the Fast-Track mentality that meant safety corners where being cut to save time & money.

The industry was being "Market Driven" not standards driven.



 We are the ITDA Family!
