Hi all, after many years of kicking around the idea of tech, I've finally taken the plunge and bought a doubles set up and will be taking ADV. nitrox and DECO procedures in the fall.
I've had trouble communicating with my instructor so I figured the TDI divers of SB could probably answer my question.
Question is this:
How does TDI train divers to use a computer? Are they trained to plan dives on tables with the computer in gauge mode, or do they allow for more flexibility and use the computer for gas switching during the dive.
Obviously they will teach you to plan the dive, dive the plan - but how much flexibility is their between your plan and your dive? Are new tech divers taught only to plan a dive using tables and then execute the plan using a bottom timer?
Thanks.
