Technical Dive Training
Air Diluent CCR
This is the entry level certification course for divers wishing to utilize a closed circuit rebreather (CCR) for air diving. The objective of the course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for diving a CCR and to develop basic CCR diving skills to a maximum depth of 30 metres / 100 feet, using air as a diluent. No decompression diving is allowed on this course

Advanced Nitrox Diver
This course examines the use of EAN-21 through 100 percent oxygen for optimal mixes to a depth of 40 metres / 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. TDI Decompression Procedures or the Intro to Tech may be combined with this course at the discretion of the instructor.

Helitrox CCR Diver
This is the second entry level certification course for divers wishing to utilize a closed circuit rebreather (CCR) for mixed gas diving using a Helitrox diluent. The objective of the course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for diving a CCR and to develop basic CCR diving skills, to a maximum of 45 metres / 150 feet, using an air/nitrox/helium diluent for formal decompression diving. Student are permitted to utilize a diluent and bailout mix with no greater than a 35% helium content (+/- 5%) and no less than a 21% oxygen content and are permitted to use up to 100% oxygen for decompression.

Rebreather Cavern Diver
This course is designed to develop the minimum skills and knowledge for diving a TDI approved rebreather in cavern and overhead environments within the limits of light penetration; in addition, outline specific hazards associated with rebreather cave diving. The Rebreather Cavern course is not intended to provide instruction for diving in cave environments. The objective of this course is to train divers in the proper planning, procedures, techniques and hazards of rebreather cavern diving.

Rebreather Intro to Cave Diver
This course is an introduction to the basic principles of rebreather cave diving utilizing a single primary guide line. The TDI Rebreather Intro to Cave is the second level in the development of safe techniques for rebreather cave diving, directly building upon the TDI Rebreather Cavern Diver course. This introduction to cave diving is not intended to train divers for all facets of rebreather cave diving. The objective of this course is the perfection of skills taught in the TDI Rebreather Cavern Diver program, in addition to the adoption of additional techniques and procedures required for elementary rebreather cave dives.

Rebreather Full Cave Diver
This course is the third stage of training in the series of TDI’s Rebreather Cave Diver development program. Advanced rebreather cave dive planning, the practical execution of different types of cave systems and scenarios divers encounter are presented. This rebreather cave diving course is not intended to prepare divers for evaluating all facets of cave diving. The objective of this course is to expand and critique previous skills accomplished in the TDI Rebreather Cavern Diver and Rebreather Intro to Cave programs. Emphasis is placed upon dive planning and skill perfection through actual cave penetration.
