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 45m/150 feet, this course is your first step beyond the normal sport diving limits.
Your TDI Instructor will provide you with valuable information and skills, among the topics covered are
- Kit set-up

- Decompression breathing gases
