Technical Diving Courses
Have you ever dreamed of diving in our Great Lakes or finding a wooden shipwreck straight out of history books from the 1800s? Then technical diving may be a good option for you! Even if you have never stepped into the realm of technical diving we have some courses to expand your skills. From a beginner to the advanced diver these courses will build on the foundations of what you have learned and expand your skills into the world of extended range diving. Check out the courses descriptions below for more information.
TDI Nitrox Cost: $139.95 + Instructor FeesThis is the entry-level certification course for recreational divers wishing to utilize enriched air nitrox (EAN) as a breathing gas. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for using nitrox mixes from 22 through 40 percent oxygen content.
TDI Intro to Technical Diving Cost: $139.95 + Instructor Fees
The TDI Intro to Tech course introduces students to the world of technical diving. This course is designed as an introductory course to the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and the TDI Decompression Procedures Course. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical equipment 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 (EAN) mixes, provided the gas mix is within their current level of certification.
TDI Advanced Nitrox Diving Cost: $139.95 + Instructor Fees *Specific Gear Requirements*
This course examines the use of EAN-21 through 100 percent oxygen for optimal mixes to a depth of 40 meters / 130 feet. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilizing EAN-21 through 100 percent oxygen for dives not requiring staged decompression. Can be taught in conjunction with Intro To Technical Diving or Decompression Procedures.
TDI Decompression Procedures – Cost: $139.95 + Instructor Fees and charters for final dive. *Specific Gear Requirements*
This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. This program is designed as a stand-alone course or it may be taught in conjunction with TDI Advanced Nitrox, Advanced Wreck, or Extended Range 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 45 meters / 150 feet unless taught in conjunction with the TDI Extended Range Course. The most common equipment requirements, equipment set-up and decompression techniques are presented. Students are permitted to utilize enriched air nitrox (EAN) mixes or oxygen for decompression provided the gas mix is within their current certification level.
Students who wish to take these courses should contact our technical diving instructor Andrew Sabo before proceeding to enroll. Specific gear configurations may be required to complete some of the technical diving programs. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call at 419-531-4655 and talk to someone today!
