TDI Extended Range


The TDI Extended Range course is a step further into your technical deep diving training. Here you will learn how to properly prepare for and conduct dives up to 180ft/55m using Nitrox and Oxygen for accelerated decompression. We will discuss oxygen exposure, decompression software, gas switching and the psychological aspects of technical diving and you will implement these during dive planning and execution. After completion of this program you will poses the skills and knowledge necessary of a technical diver.

During training we will dive at least 4 times over 4 days with all dives being deeper than 100ft/30m and 2 of those dives deeper than 130ft/40m. In order to ensure you receive personalized instructor attention, our maximum group size for this course is 3 students per instructor. Although the TDI courses are similar, there are some differences in standards/prerequisites. Prior to starting you can choose which course you want to follow and which certification card to receive. After this course, you will be ready to continue your training with the TDI entry level Trimix course.


Before you enroll in this program you must be at least 18 years old, be a TDI Advanced Nitrox/PADI TEC 40 Diver and TDI Decompression Procedures/PADI TEC 45 Diver or equivalent, and have a minimum of 100 logged dives from which 25 must be deeper than 100ft/30m.



TDI Trimix

If you are looking to exceed the depth limits of diving air and Nitrox, the TDI Trimix course is a great way to achieve your goal! Trimix is a great introduction to breathing a blend of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium, used to perform technical dives up to 200ft/60m in the safest manner, thus reducing your levels of narcosis. We will talk about the advantages and physiological properties of helium as breathing gas and evaluate how Trimix behaves during decompression. You will now start using multiple staged decompression tanks and will have to perform gas switches at depth to maximize the efficiency of decompression.

This course is made up of 4 decompression dives over 3 days with a minimum of 100 minutes total bottom time, of which you will perform two dives deeper than 130ft/40m. Although the TDI and PADI courses are similar, there are some differences in standards/prerequisites. Prior to starting you can choose which course you want to follow and which certification card to receive. After this course, you will be ready to continue your training with the TDI or PADI Advanced Trimix courses.

Before you enroll in this program you must be at least 18 years old, be a TDI Advanced Nitrox, and have a minimum of 100 logged dives from which 25 must be deeper than 100ft/30m.
