Tek Training is owned by Andy Wilson. The following is a brief description of his diving career:

1993 - I completed my PADI Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver and a host of specialty courses as well as completing one of the first PADI Nitrox Diver courses. By the end of 1995 I qualify as a PADI Divemaster.

1994 - Nitrox is the gas that people had called "Devil Gas", and it is now being promoted by one of the largest recreational diver training agencies in the world. I'm an avid reader of an american magazine called Aqua Corps, they talk about a new style of diving called "Technical Diving".

1995 - Most of the wrecks I want to dive are deeper than the recreational diving depth limit so I gain IANTD (International Association 0f Technical Divers) Advanced Nitrox and Technical Diver qualifications and spend the next few years gaining twinset experience diving the various quarry's around the UK.

1996 - I meet Alex Vassalo of Custom Divers at the IANTD Tech conference and begin helping him at the UK dive shows, this helps me meet other technical divers and pursue my interest further.

1997 - I travel to Key West, Florida USA and dive with Billy Deans and his team. Billy was the Vice President of IANTD and was influential in helping me refine my Technical diving equipment. At the IANTD Tech conference in April I dive Dave Thomson's prototype closed circuit rebreather, "The Inspiration", Richard Pyle also attends with his MK5P CIS Lunar CCR.

1998 - I become certified as an IANTD Trimix Diver

1999 - Trimix is getting expensive as my dives get deeper and bottom times get longer so I purchase an Inspiration CCR. I make the decision to teach diving for a living and complete the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor Course.

2000 - I become certified as an IANTD Nitrox, Advanced Nitrox, Oxygen Service Tech, Nitrox Gas Blender, Trimix Gas Blender and Inspiration CCR Instructor.

2001 - I become certified as a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer and DAN (Divers Alert Network) Instructor and cross over to teach with TDI (Technical Diving International). Over the next few years I complete Instructor training at all levels.

2002 - I attend an IT (Instructor Trainer) workshop at DAN Headquarters and gain IT qualifications at all levels.

2003 - I attend an IT workshop at TDI Headquarters and gain an IT qualifications with TDI and SDI (Scuba Diving International) at all levels.

2005 - At the start of the year I become one of the first instructors in Europe teaching the Megalodon CCR and get offered a position on the Training Advisory Board of TDI. Myself and a colleague write the new TDI standards & procedures for the Inspiration and Evolution CCR at all levels.

2006 - I move to live in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. As well as running various Technical Diver and Instructor courses for Tek Training I work as an independent Instructor & Instructor Trainer for two of the largest diving centres in Sharm.

2008 - After spending two years teaching in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt I decided to return to the UK to teach.
