About rectotec
rectotec is a diver training facility offering which offers open circuit diver training from beginner through to normoxic Trimix with BSAC, PADI & SDI/TDI. In addition to full courses, we’re also happy to teach referrals, individual sessions or offer 1 to 1 coaching. Located in Camberley, Surrey, and the West Midlands, we are able to run courses at a time and location that best suits you. Theory lessons can be done on-site, via e-learning or even at your location on special request. rectotec is also happy to work with dive shops or clubs and run courses in your area.

rectotec teach in single and twin set configurations and although practise the Hogarthian style (except when agency standards dictate otherwise), we have an open mind and are happy to discuss any configuration questions that you may have. Equipment may also be provided if required. We can help you ‘future proof’ your equipment to ensure you buy the correct gear first time. Although this initially may appear expensive, the right equipment will save you money in the long run.

Underwater lessons are filmed for accurate post-dive critiques; they will not be used otherwise without explicit consent. All footage will be deleted by the end of the day however if you want it for personal reasons, please remember to bring a storage device with you.

At rectotec we only recommend equipment that we either dive with or would be happy to use. We are proud to be dealers for the following manufacturers; Light-For-Me, Tecline, Dive Signs and RescuEAN.
