DIVER COURSE

Are you looking to expand your dive time? Maybe you’re a scientific diver or photographer looking to stay in the water a little longer?

The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 percent within your current certification level to a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet during dives that 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. TDI Advanced Nitrox is also a must for SCR or CCR divers.

Who this course is for:

• The certified nitrox diver looking to expand their understanding of nitrox mixtures containing more than 40% oxygen
• The certified nitrox diver looking to expand their in-water skills
• The certified diver who has interest in moving forward with technical diving education
  
  

Course prerequisites:

(these requirements must be met prior to the start of the course):

• Minimum age 18, 15 with parental consent
• Minimum certification of TDI Nitrox Diver or equivalent
• Proof of 25 logged open water dives
• Review the course Standards & Procedures.
  
  

DIVER COURSE

Are you finding your no- decompression limits (NDLs) a limiting factor to dives? Do you have to ascend sooner than you would like? 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 45 metres/150 feet, this course is your first step beyond the normal sport diving limits.

The TDI Decompression 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.

Who this course is for:

• The certified Advanced Diver looking to expand their knowledge of decompression theory and diving techniques
• The certified Advanced Diver who is interested in extending their bottom time
• The certified Advanced Diver who has interest in moving forward with technical diving education
  
  

Course prerequisites:

(these requirements must be met prior to commencement of training):

• Minimum age 18
• Minimum certification of SDI Advanced Adventure Diver, Advanced Diver, or equivalent
• Proof of 25 logged open water dives
• Review the course Standards & Procedures.

DIVER COURSE

Certain areas of the world provide spectacular dives at depths deeper than 39 metres/130 feet but you may 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 55 metres/180 feet, so you don’t have to miss those dives!

The TDI Extended Range Diver Course provides the training and experience necessary including proper techniques, equipment requirements, and hazards of deep air diving, to competently utilize air for dives up to 55 metres/180 feet that require staged decompression, using nitrox mixtures or oxygen during decompression.

Who this course is for:

• The certified TDI Advanced Nitrox/Decompression Procedures diver looking for the next step in technical dive training. Whether you’re looking to expand upon your skills, experience, or just go a little deeper to see an area of interest, this course is for you!
  
  

Course prerequisites:

(these requirements must be met prior to commencement of training):

• Minimum age 18
• Certified as a TDI Advanced Nitrox Diver and TDI Decompression Procedures Diver, or equivalent
• Proof of a minimum of 100 logged dives, of which 25 must be deeper than 30 metres/100 feet
• Review the course Standards & Procedures.

INSTRUCTOR COURSE

The TDI Advanced Nitrox Instructor Course qualifies Nitrox Instructors to teach the use of enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 to a depth of 40 metres/130 feet during dives that do not require staged decompression.

TDI COURSE FLOW CHART

All of the Aquaventure technical diving courses are delivered utilising TDI online e-learning theory packages. Experience has shown that the majority of students find this approach is better suited to their individual learning needs being more flexible, easier to align with their available time and the pace of their learning.

The e-learning packages are specifically developed to track progress and allow your instructor to identify areas for further discussion during the classroom reviews before the practical elements of the course begin. Traditional classroom based theory is also offered when e-learning is not possible or suitable.
