Decompression Procedures Course
Advanced Nitrox / Decompression Procedures
Extended Range / Trimix / Rebreathers
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 45m/150 feet, this course is
your first step beyond the normal sport diving
limits. Your TDI Instructor will provide you with valuable information
and skills, among the topics covered are: (1) Kit set-up, (2)
Equipment Requirements, (3) Decompression Techniques, (4)
Decompression
Breathing Gases, (5) Gas Management, and (6)
Contingency Planning.
The TDI Decompressions Procedures course
combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox course form the foundation of
all other technical courses. After these two courses and some
additional experience, the stage has been set for you to move onto
additional technical levels. Some of the materials you will be using
include the TDI Divers Guide to Decompression Procedures, US Navy or
Buhlmann Air Decompression Tables (made of vinyl for easy in-water use
and storage)
Upon successful completion of this course
students may enroll in TDI Extended Range Course, TDI Advanced Wreck
Course, or TDI Entry Level Trimix.
