Sometimes we just want to go past the limits other people have set for us. That's as true in diving as it is anywhere else in life. My TDI Decompression Procedures course is built for divers who want to venture beyond no-decompression limits and do it safely. This is the first real step into technical diving.

Very few things ruin a great dive faster than watching your NDL run out before you're ready to surface. In this course, you'll learn to plan and safely execute dives that require decompression stops, to a maximum depth of 45 meters, using accelerated decompression gases up to 100% oxygen.

Once you're certified, a whole new world opens up — trimix, advanced wreck diving, and beyond. This course also pairs well with TDI Advanced Nitrox if you want to knock both out together.

Already cave certified?

If you're already a certified cave diver, I can run this course as a mix of cave and open water dives instead of open water only. You'll plan and execute decompression dives in both environments — and since the profiles and planning considerations are genuinely different between the two, you come out of the course actually prepared for both, not just one.
