PADI/DSAT Trimix 65...qualifying crossover certs?

[bamamedic]

Hi!

There's an instructor I'm very interested in taking the PADI/DSAT "Tech 65" course from...unfortunately, all my prior certs are TDI/SDI.

Does anyone know what TDI equivalent is needed to qualify to take the "Tech 65" course?

I've taken TDI's "Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures", but not "Extended Range".

Thanks!

There is a list on the web, I'll dig it out and post later.

You'll need the equivalent of Tec50 - which is Extended Range, not AN/DP.

Essentially, Tec50 is a two deco bottle course, so you need a course that has two deco bottles in it to qualify for equivalence.

Here ya go, this is the list:

AN/DP does allow you to miss Extended Range and do TDI Normoxic Trimix. Unless you have a real fixation on the PADI courses, that may be a more straightforward option for you.
