Technical diving exceeds the conventional limits, in both depth and time, of recreational scuba diving. Choosing to train in Technical diving is not something you should take lightly. It requires a commitment in time, education, and equipment. While this form of diving can be challenging, it is also extremely rewarding. If you are ready to take your diving beyond the limits, then it’s time to join the Technical diving ranks.
Technical Diving International (TDI) offers elearning courses for the diver looking for something a little more extreme. Courses include Introduction to Technical Diving, Nitrox, Advanced Nitrox, Cavern, and Cave.

[su_spoiler title=”Intro To Tech Diver” style=”2″]Intro To Tech Diver
The TDI Intro to Tech course introduces students to the world of technical diving. This course is designed as an introductory course to the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and the TDI Decompression Procedures Course. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical equipment configurations, to enhance open water diving skills (such as buoyancy, trim, and situational awareness), and to introduce students to advanced gas planning techniques within a no-decompression context. This course is strictly a no-decompression course; students are permitted to use enriched air nitrox (EAN) mixes, provided the gas mix is within their current level of certification. Intro to Tech may be combined with TDI Advanced Nitrox at the discretion of the instructor.
Course fee includes the online academic portion of this course only. Additional fees, classroom time with a TDI instructor and/or training dives may be required. Please contact us for more information.

Nitrox Diver
This is the entry-level certification course for recreational divers wishing to utilize enriched air nitrox (EAN) as a breathing gas. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for using nitrox mixes from 22 through 40 percent oxygen content. The primary intent is to provide the participant with a solid foundation in the concept of nitrox and help prepare the diver for further technical diving activities. You will learn the basics behind planning dives using nitrox. In addition you will be introduced to all of the formulas tables used when diving nitrox.

Advanced Nitrox Diver
The TDI Advanced Nitrox course is the first step in taking scuba beyond the usual sport-diving applications. This course examines the use of EAN-21 through 100 percent oxygen for optimal mixes to a depth of 40 metres / 130 feet. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilizing EAN-21 through 100 percent oxygen for dives not requiring staged decompression. TDI Decompression Procedures or the Intro to Tech may be combined with this course at the discretion of the instructor.

[su_spoiler title=”Cavern and Cave Diver” style=”2″]
Cavern and Cave Diver
This course is divided into three separate levels; cavern, intro to cave and full cave. It is designed to develop the skills and knowledge for each level that you wish to participate in. The objective of this course is to train divers in the proper planning, procedures, techniques and hazards of diving in caverns and the overhead environments. You will learn how to utilize a primary guideline in the intro to cave course and in the full cave course you will learn how to use secondary lines. As you progress through each level your knowledge and skills will build upon previous skills. Emphasis is placed upon dive planning and skill perfection through each level ending with the full cave course that includes actual cave penetration.
Course fee includes the online academic portion of this course only. Additional fees, classroom time with a TDI instructor and/or training dives may be required. Please contact us for more information.
