TDI Decompression Procedures
Are you finding your no- decompression limits (NDLs) a limiting factor to dives? The TDI Decompression Procedures Course prepares you for planned staged decompression diving. With a maximum operating depth of 45 meters/ 150 feet, this course is your first step beyond the normal sport diving limits. The TDI Decompression Procedures Course combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox course form the foundation of all other technical courses.
