    the acronym START

    I do bubble checks as the first thing in the water. Gas leak usually would need to take me out of water for repair, so it is waste of time to do it at the end. A lot of other problems (i.e. cord entalgment) can be solved in water. ElBacio

    Thoughts about Intro To Tech Standards Changes

    Do you mean that you would not go for Adv. Nitrox course to a instructor if he is not also certified as an instructor of Deco Procedures, Extended Range, Trimix and Adv. Trimix? Some people change instructors for different courses just to see different points of view, different experience...

    Recreational Trimix to Adv. Trimix

    Hello, There is student certified with "Adv. Nitrox" and "Recreational Trimix" from another agency. He wants to enroll to TDI Adv. Trimix course. I think he should first go through TDI Trimix (normoxic) course. The "Recreational Trimix" course standards, which he already passed, say he...

    "Should" and "must" in TDI standards

    Thank you! For a lot of people, not native speakers, such clarifications are very important. Anyway, I do not find in the standards the limit of 100 meters max. The "9.1 Introduction" - "The TDI Advanced Trimix Course provides the training required to competely and safely utilize (...) to...

    "Should" and "must" in TDI standards

    Hello, In the Adv. Trimix Course it is written that at least 2 dives should be deeper than 70 meters. I wonder if that "should" means "must". We have a very convinient place for training dives (quarry), but the maximum depth is only 64 meters. I wonder if that would be according to the...

    up to Adv. Trimix with END 30 m

    Hello, Two potential students asked me if it is possible to go through the education ladder at TDI from Nitrox to Adv. Trimix while keeping END below 30m. (The limit comes from their existing DIR training and philosophy). I looked at the standards: Nitrox - no problem to do the course...

    author's specialty

    Hello, If I understand correctly the Specialty Procedure #3 for SDI Instructors allows an instructor not only to cross-over the existing specialty from another agency, but also to build his own specialty, where he has enough experience and surely there is a local demand for that. I wonder...

    Skills dives

    Hello, Usually the technical courses consists of skills dives, often simulation deco dives and real deco dives. I wonder if the "skills dives" counts in the minimum number of dives mentioned in the standards. I.e. Adv. Nitrox course requires minimum 4 dives and 100 minutes bottom time...

    Maximum depth on the course

    My students are often afraid that if we go down to max. i.e. 37 meters during Adv. Nitrox course they will not be qualified to 40m as in the standards. As far as I understand, the real depth reached during the course has nothing or little to do with the qualifications. El Bacio

    Maximum depth on the course

    Hello, When filling the form after the course one of the question for the instructor is the maximum depth during the course. I wonder why this information is important for the agency? Regards, El Bacio

    Get Your Free Nitrox Tanks Wraps from TDI

    It is a pity that the offer is limited to North American divers, while the name of the agency has "International" word in it. It would be great if other regional HQs would follow the Main HQ in such promotional activities. El Bacio
