International Diving Centre embraces the "Hogarthian" equipment configuration philosophy that came out of the Florida based Woodville Karst Plain Project (WKPP) and Bill Hogarth Main.
The principle behind this gear configuration is simplicity
and minimalism. Technical diving is an extremely equipment intensive activity in which overcomplicating a gear configuration can lead to serious injury and even death. The "Hogarthian" configuration is based on the concept that all divers within a team should be configured the same way so that divers can more effectively assist each other in the event of a problem and that only equipment that is essential to a dive should be taken on that dive. This equipment configuration is now being used with minor variations by the major technical training agencies, including DSAT, GUE, NAUI and IANTD. All of the significant technical diving manuafacturers, Halcyon, dive Rite, OMS, and Apeks, have also embraced this approach to equipment.
At International Diving Centre we remain open-minded. While attending any Technical training programs
at IDC, you will be counselled through several options for assembling your own technical rig. Experienced
Instructors and Instructor-trainers will assist in the configuration process free of charge.
At IDC, we take time to ensure that your system is optimized for your own personal usability and comfort
while engaging in this extreme realm of diving.
