TDI Advanced Nitrox Diver Course:
The objective of the course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for using EAN 21% to 100% for dives not requiring planned decompression up to a maximum depth of 40 metres. 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 depth.
Prerequisites:
Minimum age 15 (unless the course is taught in conjunction with the TDI Decompression Procedures course, in which case the minimum age is 18)
Minimum certification of TDI/PADI Nitrox diver (or equivalent) with proof of 25 logged dives.
Course Content - The specific skills this course will highlight are: Theory - Including such topics as physics, physiology, oxygen tracking, formula work, equipment requirements and considerations, dive tables, dive computers, dive planning, common mixing procedures, decompression etc.
Practical - 4 open water dives focusing on buoyancy and trim, ascent/decent techniques, valve shutdowns, out of gas scenarios/air sharing, dive planning and implementing appropriate safety stops.
