IANTD Standards and Procedures provide for the highest level of EANx , Trimix, Cave and Rebreather education and training available.

IANTD (IAND, Inc.) was founded by Dick Rutkowski, the former dive supervisor for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Dick introduced the recreational diving community to the technology of EANx. This program was developed through NOAA during his tenure. Today the board of directors and the membership of IANTD are composed of many of the most experienced divers in the world pertaining to the use of breathing gases other than air.

IANTD became the FIRST to offer training programs in all aspects of technical diving (Advanced Nitrox, Deep Air, Technical Diver, Cave and Wreck Penetration)

IANTD is continually developing new training and operational materials in the field of technical diving,IANTD keeps  updating  its Standards to represent all the latest advances in various technologies.

IANTD could avoid criticism simply by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing. As a leader and an ethical organization IANTD is: Saying Something, Doing Something and Being Something.

IANTD presents safe and proven concepts for advanced recreational and technical diving and does not compromise where an issue of safety or a need for knowledge is at stake. Proper equipment is an essential element. On the other hand we have been, and will continue to be, receptive to the needs of our instructors, members and the overall diving community.
