TDI Decompression Procedures Course in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

There are limits to everything. Even diving. For recreational divers, we have No Decompression Limits.  However, nothing sucks more than having to end a great dive because you ran out of time.  For those divers who are ready to push the limits beyond those set for recreational divers, and are willing to learn how to safely execute decompression dives, then the TDI Decompression Procedures course is what you should be doing.

During this course, you will learn to plan and execute decompression dives building up from the knowledge you obtained during your TDI Advanced Nitrox Course to a maximum depth of 45meters. This is done using a combination of multi-gas dive computers as well as planning software.

The dives, are done in open water  on the deep reefs and Cantil wall in Playa del Carmen, or for certified cave divers with a Stage Cave certification, the dives can be done in some of the deeper caves in the Riviera Maya.

After your certification, a whole new world will open up to you, and you will be able and ready to move into courses like Extended Range, Normoxic Trimix and Advanced/Technical Wreck to name a few.

This course can be taken in conjuction with the TDI Advanced Nitrox Course
