Aim of courses
·                     The TDI advanced nitrox and decompression procedures courses are entry-level technical diving courses.
 
·                     The advanced nitrox course qualifies you to use nitrox mixes up to 100% oxygen.  See further information here: http://www.tdisdi.com/wpsite/tdi/get-certified/Advanced-Nitrox-Diver/
 
·                     The decompression procedures course qualifies you to engage in staged decompression diving up to 45m.  See further information here: http://www.tdisdi.com/wpsite/tdi/get-certified/Decompression-Procedures-Diver/
 
·                     Together, the combined courses provide training to allow you to undertake staged decompression, whilst using mixes of up to 100% oxygen as part of your decompression mix (for conservatism or to accelerate your decompression time).
