The Building blocks for any Technical Diver…
Find the no-decompression limits (NDLs) a limiting factor to dives?
As a recreational diver, planned decompression is not within our training.
The combination of TDI Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures Courses prepares you for the use of Nitrox and O2 to aid accelerated decompression and planned staged decompression diving with a maximum operating depth of 45m.
