TDI Decompression Procedure Diver




As sport divers, planned decompression is not something that we do or have been taught. The TDI Decompression Procedures course prepares you for planned staged decompression diving. With a maximum operating depth of 45mt, this course is your first step beyond the normal sport diving limits.



This course will provide you with valuable information and skills, among the topics covered are:

  • Kit set-up
  • Equipment requirements
  • Decompression techniques
  • Decompression breathing gases
  • Gas management
  • Contingency planning

The TDI Decompressions Procedures course combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox course form the foundation of all other technical courses. After these two courses and some additional experience, the stage has been set for you to move onto additional technical levels.


This course requires a minimum time duration of 4 days.

Your next adventure:

For holders of the TDI Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures, your next step is the TDI Trimix Diver program. This qualifies divers to perform dives outside of training to depths up to 60m while using helium-based breathing mixtures (with at least 18% oxygen) to reduce the END to a maximum 40m and to perform required decompression stops using any mixture of EANx up to 100% oxygen.
