TDI Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures

The most popular technical certification, combining two courses to accelerate decompression to 45 metres.

The TDI Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures course is regarded by many as the entry-level technical certification and is the most popular of all technical diving courses. It combines two courses to give you the benefit of accelerating decompression using high-oxygen mixes.

It can be taken on twins or sidemount and certifies you to plan and conduct decompression dives to a maximum depth of 45 metres. For most divers this is the natural starting point on the technical pathway, and it pairs perfectly with our deeper Extended Range and Trimix courses or a move across to closed circuit.
