TDI NITROX $125

 

This is the entry level certification course for recreational divers wishing to utilize enriched air nitrox (EAN) as a breathing gas and wanting to possibly continue on with other tech courses. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for using nitrox mixes from 22% to 40% oxygen content. Content includes working formulas for equivalent air depth, maximum operating depth, oxygen exposure and best mix, as well as learning to plan for nitrox dives. This course is available immediately for anyone wishing to register.

 

TDI ADVANCED WRECK DIVING/NAUI TECHNICAL WRECK PENETRATION $505

 

This course provides training and experience required to competently conduct advanced wreck dives. This program includes penetration skills and techniques. Depths shall not exceed the level in which the diver is trained and competent, but in no case shall the maximum depth exceed 180 Feet sea water. The objective of this course is to train divers in the proper techniques, equipment requirements and hazards of wreck penetration diving. (NAUI Wreck Penetration is also available (non technical class) $350)

 

TDI INTRO TO TECH $225

 

The Introduction to Technical Diving Course (Intro to Tech) is designed as a bridge from the recreational sport diver to an introduction to the rigors and discipline of technical diving, and is a great preparatory course if you are considering technical diver training or are interested in streamlining your equipment configuration. This course is designed as an introductory course to the TDI Advanced Nitrox and the TDI Decompression Procedures courses. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical gear configurations, to enhance open water diving skills (such as buoyancy, trim, and situational awareness), and to introduce students to advanced gas planning techniques within a no-decompression context. This course is strictly a no-decompression course; students are permitted to use Enriched Air Nitrox to the level they are certified. The Intro to Tech course is your first step to a whole new world of technical diving! One classroom, 3 dives.

 

TDI ADVANCED NITROX $325

 

This course examines the use of Enriched Air Nitrox (21 percent through 100 percent oxygen) for optimal mixes to a depth of one hundred thirty (130) feet sea water. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for utilizing EAN 21-100 percent for dives not requiring staged decompression. This course is essential in bridging the gap from recreation to technical and can be completed in conjunction with the TDI Decompression Procedures course. Course takes approximately 3 days: one classroom, 4 dives.

 

TDI DECOMPRESSION PROCEDURES $325

 

Knowing and understanding decompression procedures is a fundamental element of deep diving. This course examines the theory, methods, and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. In this course divers learn how to plan prolonged dives with deco-stops while using a combination of stage bottles and 02. Adding this skill course allows divers to explore deeper, longer and most importantly safer (as indicated above, this course can be combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox Course). 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 one hundred fifty (150) feet sea water. The most common equipment requirements, gear set-up, and decompression techniques are presented. Students are permitted to utilize EANx or oxygen for decompression to the level they are certified. Course takes approximately 3 days: one classroom, 4 dives.

 

TDI EXTENDED RANGE DIVING $425

 

This course provides the training and experience to competently utilize air for dives to depths not exceeding one hundred and eighty (180) fsw. The student will use staged-decompression techniques and EANx mixtures and oxygen for decompression. The objective of this course is to train divers in the proper techniques, gas planning and management, equipment requirements and hazards of deep air diving to depths not exceeding 180 fsw. (Available 2014)

 

TDI TECHNICAL DIVEMASTER $595

 

This course is the third stage of training in the series of TDI programs. As a TDI Divmaster you will be able to plan, organize and supervise Technical dives in the disciplines you are trained to dive in. Training will include advanced dive planning and supervision. (The above fee is reduced for current SDI Divemasters.)
