TDI Extended Range Course available at our facility in Phuket Thailandprovides the training and experience required to competently use air for dives up to 180 fsw/55msw that need staged decompression, utilising Nitrox mixtures and Oxygen during decompression.

The TDI Extended Range course teaches you the proper techniques for utilising compressed air as a breathing gas and with a maximum depth of 55m/180 feet you won’t have to miss those dives. The Extended Range course will cover topics and skills such as:

    • Equipment requirements and configuration
