10 Years as a TDI It for Mathew

Congratulations to our own Mathew Partridge who recently celebrated 10 years of Instructor Training for TDI (after originally qualifying as an IT in 2003!).

Winding back 10 years to 2005 there were a few significant events, the original YouTube website was launched (although it was a little while before it gained the popularity it enjoys now), Lance Armstrong retired from cycling (as a model athlete...), Pope John-Paul passed away and Benedict was elected, Hurricane Katrina devastated several of the southern US states, Saddam Hussain went on trial and the worlds first partial face transplant was completed.  These events seem a long time back now but even back then Mathew was a key part in producing the TDI instructors of the future.


Mathew is able to teach the following TDI courses at instructor level, and is also the only Hammerhead CCR IT in Asia and a IT for the PADI TecRec courses:



  • TDI Nitrox
  • TDI Intro Tech Instructor
  • TDI Advanced Nitrox Instructor
  • TDI Decompression Procedures Instructor
  • TDI Helitrox Instructor
  • TDI Extended Range Instructor
  • TDI Trimix Instructor
  • TDI Advanced Trimix Instructor
  • TDI Advanced Wreck Instructor
  • TDI Cave Instructor (OC or CCR)
  • TDI Rebreather Instructor
  • TDI Sidemount Instructor (Basic & Advanced levels)
  • TDI Technical DPV instructor
  • TDI Gas Blender Instructor (Nitrox &Trimix)
