The TDI Decompression Procedures course equips divers with the knowledge and skills to safely plan and execute dives requiring staged decompression stops to a maximum depth of 45m.

TDI Cavern DIver Course

The TDI Cavern Diver course teaches divers to safely explore the daylight zone of overhead environments, focusing on line handling, team awareness, and emergency procedures.

TDI Gas Blender

The TDI Gas Blender course trains divers to safely mix breathing gases such as nitrox and trimix, focusing on oxygen handling, blending theory, and proper fill station procedures.

This course trains divers to safely use enriched air nitrox (EAN), increasing no-decompression limits, reducing nitrogen absorption, and extending bottom dive time on Malapascua’s beautiful reefs and walls.

This course trains divers to safely use enriched air nitrox up to 100%, increasing no-decompression limits, reducing nitrogen absorption, and extending bottom dive time on reefs and walls. The maximum allowable depth for this course is 40m.

The TDI Extended Range course trains divers to safely conduct deep dives using twin cylinders and staged decompression, extending depth limits to a maximum of 55m.

Intro to Cave

The TDI Intro to Cave Diver course builds on cavern skills, teaching divers to safely penetrate further into overhead environments with emphasis on guideline use, gas management, and team protocols.

TDI Adv Gas Blender

The TDI Advanced Gas Blender course builds on blending skills to prepare custom trimix mixes, emphasizing helium handling, advanced calculations, and quality control procedures.

SSI’s Extended Range programs offer avid divers the training they need to experience the thrill of technical diving. These programs include specialties like Extended Range Trimix, Semi-Closed Rebreather Diving, Extended Range Cavern Diving, Closed-Circuit Rebreather Diving, and more, allowing divers to explore caves, enjoy extended bottom times, and dive deep reefs and wrecks.

 

SSI’s Extended Range Cavern and Wreck Diving programs equip divers with the skills to conduct cavern and wreck penetration dives using specialized equipment, gas management, and buddy team strategies.
