TDI Decompression Procedures Diver
Your first staged decompression certification, planning and conducting deco dives to 45 metres.
The TDI Decompression Procedures course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. It is designed as a stand-alone course but may be taken in conjunction with the TDI Advanced Nitrox, Advanced Wreck or Extended Range courses.
The objective is to train you to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a maximum depth of 45 metres, unless taught alongside the TDI Extended Range course. The most common equipment requirements, equipment set-up and decompression techniques are presented, and you are permitted to use enriched air nitrox or oxygen for decompression within your current certification level.
