TDI - Decompression Procedures Manual

As sport divers planned decompression is not something that we do or have been taught. Use the TDI Divers Guide to Decompression Procedures Manual ,for the TDI Decompression Procedures course to prepare 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. 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.

This material contained within this manual is designed to be used to supplement classroom instruction by an insured certified TDI Instructor.
