TDI Helitrox Course £229
The Helitrox Course examines the theory, methods and procedures for planned staged decompression diving utilising helium in the breathing mixture. This program is designed as a stand alone course or it may be taught in conjunction with the TDI Advanced Nitrox Course at the discretion of the instructor. The objective of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive, not exceeding a maximum depth of 45 metres. The most common equipment requirements, gear set up and decompression techniques are presented. Students are permitted to utilise enriched air nitrox and helium mixes with no greater than 20% helium and up to 100% oxygen for decompression diving provided the gas mix is within their current certification level. Breathing gas mixtures containing more than 20% helium or less than 21% oxygen are not permitted.
