TDI Advanced Nitrox

TDI Advanced Nitrox

Ok, by now you already know the benefits of nitrox, and no-doubt have been using it successfully for some time, but now we need to help you move onto the next level; the TDI Advanced Nitrox Course. Whereas up until now you have always used just one breathing gas from start to finish throughout your dives now you will learn to take advantage of an alternate nitrox mix during your ascent.

Why TDI Advanced Nitrox?

This course examines the use of air and the full scope of nitrox mixtures to depths not in excess of 40 metres. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilizing air, EAN22-99 and oxygen for dives not requiring staged decompression.
