    Question When do we speak of technical diving ?

    Hello, I can speak only to my experience and recent knowledge of TDI AN/DP course. Regular air / 21% oxygen has an MOD of 187 with PPO2 of 1.4. Nitrogen narcosis being your biggest risk - in my case we did progressively deeper dives, like 80,,100,130 and then 150 feet so that my instructor could...

    Question When do we speak of technical diving ?

    Yes, I am a very newly certified technical diver, so I don't claim to know much. All of my tech dives have been in 26 celsius water with 3mil! Anyhow, it just seemed to be such a strong statement to say anything below 40meteres without Helium is reckless, especially when I did exactly this...

    Hi, not to be nitpicky, I just finished my TDI AN/DP courses and it is to 45metres with just air and in my case was 50% Nitrox. No helium. This is as per agency directions.

    Teric NDL Plan

    Yes, I did think I may have to delete some of my programmed gases...but it is convenient to have 31%, 32% and 33% all ready to go, cause it is a quick switch when you analyze the tank. Wasn't aware they can be switched OFF, so did that now. Yes, now the NDL planner is forced to use the 32% and...

    Teric NDL Plan

    So, I am also having difficulty getting my Teric NDL plan to give me what I would find useful. During the surface interval, I would like to know that i can, say, stay at 60 feet for, say 40minutes before i go down. Yes, I realize that it is based theoretically on doing a square dive, which of...
