Trimix Diver: These courses are to provide the diver with the skills and knowledge needed to minimize the risks of utilizing helium-based trimix breathing gas mixes for dives to a maximum training depth of 250 fsw requiring staged decompression and utilizing EANx mixtures and/ or oxygen during decompression. PRISM CCR Basic and Trimix Certification: These courses are intended to provide basic level training and trimix training for the Steam Machines PRISM Topaz. Contact us for more details. Technical DPV Diver: This program is intended to train technical divers in the use of dive propulsion vehicles (DPVs; scooters).

NTEC equipment configuration is a standard curriculum presented in all courses described above.
TDI TECHNICAL DIVER EDUCATION:
Introduction to Technical Diving This course walks students through the special techniques, planning procedures and skills that set technical diving apart from traditional sport diving. It will show them how to improve their dive planning methods, in-water skills and streamline their existing gear configuration, in a non-threatening and fun learning environment. The specific skills this course will highlight are:
* Advanced Buoyancy Control Advanced Nitrox The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 to a depth of 40 metres/130 feet during dives hat do not require staged decompression. This class is usually taught in conjunction with the TDI Decompression Procedures course. Advanced Nitrox is also a great course for those wanting to extend their bottom times in shallower depths. The course cover topics such as:
* Equipment requirements
Decompression Procedures The TDI Decompression Procedures course prepares you for planned staged decompression diving. With a maximum operating depth of 45m/150 feet, this course is your first step beyond the normal sport diving limits. Among the topics covered are:
* Kit set-up * Equipment requirements * Decompression techniques * Decompression breathing gases * Gas management * Contingency planning
Trimix TDI’s Trimix Diver course shows how to minimize the effects of narcosis by adding helium to offset the nitrogen in your breathing gas. This course covers planning and executing dives utilizing as little as 18 percent oxygen and diving to maximum depth of 60 m/200 feet with a blend of helium appropriate for the planned depth. The course covers topics and skills such as:
* Dive team planning
Advanced Trimix The TDI Advanced Trimix Diver course covers training for open circuit divers wishing to dive to depths as deep as 100 m / 330 feet utilizing hypoxic levels of oxygen (below 17 percent). This course is covers topics such as:
* Equipment management
Nitrox Gas Blender In the TDI Gas Blender Course, you will receive a foundation of skills and knowledge that is needed to blend enriched air nitrox for recreational divers. After covering academic subjects including:
* Responsibilities of the gas
blender
Advanced Gas Blender Building upon the TDI Gas Blender Course, the next step is taken in the TDI Advanced Gas Blender Course where you will develop and master the skills and knowledge needed to produce custom mix gases for technical diving that include helium. After a review of academic subjects such as:
* Formulas
O2 Service Technician In the TDI O2 Equipment Service Technician Course, you will expand upon the repair skills you have received from equipment manufacturer's programs and learn the proper techniques and protocols of preparing scuba equipment for use with breathing gases other than air. The course covers topics such as:
* Oxygen compatible system
components
