TDI Advanced Nitroc & Decompression Procedures Combo Course

Course Description

One of our most popular technical diving course combinations, Advanced Nitrox and Deco Procedures teaches students how to plan and conduct decompression dives to 45 metres on air whilst using Enriched Air mixes up to 100% to make decompression stops more efficient.

TDI Advanced Nitrox portion of the course examines the use of Nitrox with more than 40% oxygen and considerations of breathing higher levels of oxygen. You will learn more about oxygen toxicity and how it affects technical diving planning, how to choose equipment for use with high concentrations of oxygen and how to ensure your dives are planned within safe exposure limits.

TDI Decompression Procedures then examines how to conduct decompression dives to 45 metres using air as a bottom gas. The course outlines dealing with contingencies underwater, planning redundant equipment and gas supplies, efficient team communications, and dive planning using special software. The theoretical part will be an in depth look into the Physics and physiology of Tech diving and planning.

Duration:

• 5 days, but allow extra days for remedial teaching. Theory session with recommended eLearning option completion prior to the start of the course, one confined dive and 7 open water dives, including 2 decompression dives.
