Who it's for

Who this course is right for—and who should wait.

1
Experienced sport diversIdeal for certified sport divers who have the required experience and logged dives and who want to move into planned decompression and technical diving.
2
Aspiring technical diversA necessary early technical credential: combined with TDI Advanced Nitrox this course establishes the foundation for further technical progression.

Younger or inexperienced diversNot a match—minimum age is 18 and students must already hold Advanced Open Water (or equivalent) and document 25 logged dives before participation.
4
Casual vacation diversThis intensive three‑day program (eight hours per day) is not a casual excursion; it’s a skills‑focused technical course requiring prior certification and logged‑dive experience.
