TDI Advanced Nitrox
The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course expands your technical diving knowledge and prepares you for deeper, longer, and more complex dives. You will learn how to safely plan and use Nitrox mixtures with an oxygen content of up to 100% to extend your no-decompression limits or optimize your decompression. Ideal for anyone looking to take the next step in Tec Diving.
What is the TDI Advanced Nitrox Course?
In the Advanced Nitrox Diver course, breathing gases with up to 100% oxygen are used. Similar to the Nitrox Diver course, the correct handling, advantages/disadvantages, and use of oxygen-enriched air are discussed. Additionally, the basics of accelerated decompression using various decompression gases are learned.
