TDI Advanced Nitrox Course
Are you looking to expand your diving into the world of Technical Diving? Maybe you’re a wreck diver or photographer looking to stay in the water a little longer? At Scuba Murcia you can enroll on the TDI Advanced Nitrox Course which qualifies you to use enriched air nitrox from 21% through 100% Oxygen and also dive to a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet during dives that do not require staged decompression. Often taught in conjunction with the TDI Decompression Procedures course, this is considered the foundation of your technical diving career. This course also teaches you the correct procedures for diving with Manifolded Twin Cylinders which is essential for additional Technical diving courses. TDI Advanced Nitrox is also a must for CCR divers and those considering Cave Diving.
