   NTEC-NAUI Technical Equipment Configuration
   

For purposes of safety, uniformity of instruction and functionality, gear configurations for water work and training exercises must be the same for instructors and students.

Standardized rigging of bottom and stage cylinders, isolation manifolds, cylinder gauges, inflators, primary regulators, and backup regulators is crucial to the safety, success and effectiveness of technical diver training.

NOTE:   Students attending in higher levels of technical diving certification must know NAUI Technical Equipment Configuration and be able to demonstrate it properly.
