Extended Range TDI

The TDI Extended Range course offered by Tech of Plongee is designed for certified divers aiming to extend their exploration capabilities to depths of up to 55 meters (180 feet), utilizing standard air as the breathing gas. This program meticulously covers the advanced techniques and essential procedures for safe deep diving, including the strategic use of decompression gases. You will gain proficiency in sophisticated dive planning, precise gas management, and effective decompression strategies, incorporating the use of Nitrox and Oxygen for accelerated decompression profiles.

The theoretical component delves into critical subjects such as gas density at depth, the physiological effects of oxygen toxicity, and the nuances of nitrogen narcosis. Practical training involves executing dives to the extended range limits, demanding careful attention to detail and adherence to established protocols. This course is a vital stepping stone for those aspiring to more advanced technical diving certifications, such as Trimix, and is conducted under the rigorous standards of TDI.

While equipment is not included in the course fee, candidates will require specialized technical diving gear. This includes twinsets, dedicated decompression cylinders, and appropriate regulators designed for technical applications. The emphasis throughout the course is on meticulous planning and flawless execution to ensure the utmost safety during these deep dives. Upon successful completion, you will be certified to dive to 55 meters using air and advanced accelerated decompression techniques.

Tech of Plongee, a center certified by FFESSM and TDI, provides this advanced training. While specific details on dive sites, water temperature, or visibility are not provided in the course data, the curriculum focuses on the universal principles of extended range diving. The center's commitment to technical diver education is evident in its offering of this challenging yet rewarding certification, preparing divers for the next level of underwater exploration.
