TDI Technical Course Breakdown:

The TDI Technical Courses are structured to build upon the skills of the previous class. The progression of classes are:

​

​

Prerequisites: 

  • 18+ years old

  • Advanced Open Water Certified or above

The Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures are two courses that are normally completed at the same time.

​

Advanced Nitrox Course Objective & Description:

  • Are you looking to expand your dive time? Maybe you’re a scientific diver or photographer looking to stay in the water a little longer? The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 percent within your current certification level to a maximum depth of 130 feet during dives that do not require staged decompression.

  • You will learn about gas management, gas choices, skill development as it pertains to technical diving, gas switches, risk management, and much more.

​

Decompression Procedures Course Objective & Description:

  • Are you finding your no-decompression limits (NDLs) a limiting factor to dives? Do you have to ascend sooner than you would like? As sport divers, planned decompression is not something that we do or have been taught. The TDI Decompression Procedures Course prepares you for planned staged decompression diving. With a maximum operating depth of 150 feet.

  • The skills in this course include dive planning, choosing the correct gases, contingency planning, decompression diving procedures, equipment configurations, drills, team awareness, and much more.
