Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures

Tech Gear Rental is +$150

Deco Bottle Rental is +$50

Students cover Instructor's Gas Fills (i.e. Nitrox Fills)

This is the Louisville Dive Center's first true technical diving course! This TDI combined course covers the theory, methods, and procedures of both planned staged decompression diving (up to 150 ft/45m) and the use of EAN-21 to 100% oxygen for non-decompression dives (up to 130 ft/40m). Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures can be taken as stand-alone courses or alongside TDI Advanced Wreck or Full Cave. Divers will learn gas planning, equipment setup, decompression techniques, and safety procedures, utilizing EAN or oxygen within their certification limits. Celebrate with us with an epic wreck dive in Pensacola, FL – take on the legendary USS Oriskany, the world’s largest artificial reef!
