TDI DECOMPRESSION PROCEDURES

TDI DECOMPRESSION PROCEDURES COURSE

Are you finding your no- decompression limits (NDLs) a limiting factor to dives? Do you have to ascend sooner than you would like? 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 45 metres/150 feet, this course is your first step beyond the normal sport diving limits. The TDI Decompression 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.

FAQs

What will I need for the course

For all technical diving courses we would expect that you have your own equipment and that you are familiar with it. However, please let us know you are missing anything, you might be able to hire it from us or we could also place an order from one of our suppliers.

How many students per course

At MK Scuba Diving we like to keep the group as small as possible to ensure that you have plenty of time in the water and full attention from the instructor. The maximum students per group is three with the standard and one for the 1-2-1 option

Where do we dive

We use mainly Stoney Cove – Sapcote Rd, Stoney Stanton, Leicester LE9 4DW. This is formal quarry which has great facilities and is ideal for dive training. They have a shop, gas filling station, changing rooms with showers and a pub where we usually go to do our debrief.

We also use Vobster Quay so we can be flexible depending on where you are based.
