TDI Decompression Procedures Scuba Diving Course at TecEvolution Thailand, Koh Chang

TDI Decompression procedures Course, Why ?

The TDI Decompression Procedures course is suitable to two types of diver.

1. ‘Recreational’ divers can take the course to develop new skills and understanding
2. ‘Recreational – Technical’ divers can take the course as an integral component of their initial education. Whilst easily conducted as a stand alone programme it is often run in conjunction with the TDI Advanced Nitrox Diver programme.

This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. The objective of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a maximum depth of 45msw unless taught in conjunction with the Extended Range course.

The most common equipment requirements, set-ups, decompression techniques and decompression mixtures (including Oxygen and Nitrox) are presented and will be discussed in detail by your TDI Instructor.

The course is available in Koh Chang, Pattaya and Bangkok (dive in Same San)

What will I do during that TDI Decompression Diver Course ?

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
Equipment requirements
Decompression techniques
Decompression breathing gases
Gas management
Contingency planning

The TDI Decompressions Procedures course combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox course form the foundation of all other technical courses. After these two courses and some additional experience, the stage has been set for you to move onto additional technical levels. Some of the materials you will be using include the TDI Divers Guide to Decompression Procedures, US Navy or Buhlmann Air Decompression Tables (made of vinyl for easy in-water use and storage).
