You have decided technical diving is for you and began to master your in water skills. Now you are ready for TDI ADVANCED NITROX the first step in safely getting to 150'. 

*This course can be combined with TDI's DECO PROCEDURES

Who this course is for:

• The certified nitrox diver looking to expand their understanding of nitrox mixtures containing more than 40% oxygen

• The certified nitrox diver looking to expand their in-water skills

• The certified diver who has interest in moving forward with technical diving education

Course prerequisites

(these requirements must be met prior to the start of the course):

• Minimum age 18, 15 with parental consent

• Minimum certification of TDI Nitrox Diver or equivalent

• Proof of 25 logged open water dives

What you can expect to learn:

Advanced Nitrox picks up where TDI Nitrox leaves off and offers a more in-depth look at diving with nitrox including:

• Physics and physiology relating to diving with gas mixes containing more than 40% oxygen

• Gas planning, dive tables, dive computers, oxygen limitations, nitrogen limitations

• Equipment considerations, cylinder labeling, analyzing nitrox mixtures, gas blending procedures, and oxygen service ratings for using gases with more than 40% oxygen

Some of the skills you will complete in this course include:

• Demonstrate buoyancy control; ability to hover at fixed position in water column without moving hands or feet

• Show good awareness of buddy and other team members through communication, proximity, and team oriented dive practices

• Demonstrate the ability to manage free flow from primary regulator in controlled fashion, shut down cycle, and switch to back up regulator

• Conduct appropriate safety stop while maintaining neutral buoyancy

• Demonstrate the ability to share air with buddy as both recipient and donor in a controlled manner while maintaining position in the water column

• Demonstrate correct body position; appropriate trim, such as horizontal/streamlined when moving forward

• Demonstrate proper stress analysis with self and dive buddy

What’s in it for you?

• Ability to dive using EAN 21 through 100 percent oxygen provided:

  • The diving activities approximate those of training

  • The areas of activities approximate those of training

  • Environmental conditions approximate those of training

• Ability to enroll in TDI Decompression Procedures, TDI Semi-closed Rebreather courses, TDI Closed Circuit rebreather courses

TDI Advanced Nitrox Diver minimum certification requirements:

• Satisfactorily complete the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and written examination

• Complete all open water requirements safely and efficiently

• Demonstrate mature, sound judgment concerning dive planning and execution

Our courses are scheduled with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 students to ensure quality student instruction and attention while providing the opportunity to learn true team diving and planning. This course consists of eLearning, classroom sessions each dive day, and a minimum of 3 days of diving.

Enrollment in this course does not guarantee certification. Students must perform all skills and knowledge assessments at a level above what is expected in recreational courses. We will not issue a certification to divers who are a threat to themselves or others. 

Pricing

eLearning and classroom- $750

Open Water Dives- This course requires 4 open water dives, unless combined with the TDI DECO PROCEDURES course. If combined a minimum of 6 dives is required. While the minimum is 6 dives, most students require 8 in order to be fully prepared to conduct dives involving decompression obligations. Cost for open water dives vary based on location and site availability.
