Technical Diving Course
Technical Diving International (TDI) was formed in 1994 by some of diving’s most experienced instructors. The aim was to bring technical diving applications to a wider audience. TDI’s training materials have become known as the best in the industry, with the most professional resources available. Most importantly, they have the best safety record of all training agencies and have become the largest, specialised dive agency in the world.
TDI instructor maintain the highest levels of professionalism, standards and quality instruction. This ensures that certification is earned so that students walk away proud and competent technical divers. In Air Dive X, yet we divided the courses into these areas:
-
Intro to Tech.
-
Sidemount Essentials.
-
Technical Sidemount.
-
Computer Nitrox.
-
Advanced Nitrox.
-
Decompression Procedures.
-
Cavern.
-
Wreck.
Intro to Tech
The TDI Intro to Tech course introduces students to the world of technical diving. This course is designed as an introductory course to the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and the TDI Decompression Procedures Course. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical equipment configurations, to enhance open water diving skills (such as buoyancy, trim, and situational awareness), and to introduce students to advanced gas planning techniques within a no-decompression context.
Prerequisites:
-
Minimal age of 18 yo
-
Open Water Diver level, proof 25 logged open water dives.
Course Structure & Duration:
-
A minimum of 3 dives must be conducted; All dives must be conducted at depths within the diver’s current level of certification but no dives should exceed 23 metres.

Sidemount Essentials
This course is designed to teach certified divers how to safely utilise side-mounted primary cylinders as an alternative to the traditional back-mounted configuration. People said "once you go side, you never go back", it's an anecdote for those who dive with Sidemount compared to the common Backmount, with these consideration:
-
Redundancy & flexibility,
-
Better buoyancy control & trim,
-
More streamlined in the water.
A training program which purposely designed as the essentials and foundation of Sidemount diving:
-
Theory: brief history, pre-dive planning, and gas management.
