Important Notice
Technical diving requires dives under conditions that are not covered by normal holiday insurance. In some cases, even
normal scuba diving insurance is not adequate. In order to make use of any of our technical diving services, you must provide
proof of diving accident insurance which covers technical diving activities. The standard Medical Evaluation Form and Technical
Liability Waiver must also be filled in.
TDI
TDI is the largest technical certification agency in the world. As one of the first agencies to provide training in mixed gas
diving and rebreathers, TDI is seen as an innovator of new diving techniques and programs which previously were not available to
the general public.
Nitrox Diver
TDI Nitrox course is an entry level course for divers wishing to utilize enriched air nitrox as a breathing gas. During this
course, you will learn the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for diving with EAN 22 to EAN 40.
Advanced Nitrox Diver
The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 to a depth of 40 metres
during dives hat do not require staged decompression. Often taught in conjunction with the TDI Decompression Procedures course,
this can be considered the foundation of your technical diving career. Advanced Nitrox is also a great course for those wanting to
extend their bottom times in shallower depths.
Decompression Procedures Diver
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.
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.
Extended Range Diver
Certain areas of the world provide spectacular dives at depths deeper than 39m/130 feet but you will not have access (or very
limited access) to helium. The TDI Extended Range course teaches you the proper techniques for utilizing compressed air as a
breathing gas and with a maximum depth of 55m/180 feet you won’t have to miss those dives.
Trimix Diver
As your motivation to explore progresses you will find that you may want to go deeper to dive that wreck that is part of history
or that cave system that you have read so much about. One of the major limiting factors of going deeper is narcosis; TDI’s Trimix
Diver course shows how to minimize the effects of narcosis by adding helium to offset the nitrogen in your breathing gas. While
taking the Trimix Diver course your TDI Instructor will teach you how to plan and execute dives utilizing as little as 18 percent
oxygen and diving to maximum depth of 60 m/200 feet with a blend of helium appropriate for the planned depth.
Advanced Trimix Diver
The TDI Advanced Trimix Diver course is the top level of training for open circuit divers wishing to dive to depths as deep as
100m utilizing hypoxic levels of oxygen (below 17 percent). This course is perhaps one of the most informative and challenging
and upon completion you are among some of the most elite divers.
- Closed Circuit Rebreather – Inspiration
- Closed Circuit Rebreather - Evolution
The TDI Inspiration and Evolution (certification depends on unit/electronics used) is your step into closed circuit rebreather
diving and your first truly quiet diving experience. Using the latest in technology CCR’s maximize your gas supply and provide
the optimum breathing gas for any depth by maintaining a constant partial pressure of oxygen (PPO2).
