CCR AIR DILUENT DECOMPRESSION COURSE – 45 meters
The TDI CCR Air Diluent Decompression Course (certification depends on unit used during training) available in Phuket Thailand and Brisbane Australia, is the second level certification course for divers wishing to utilize a closed circuit rebreather (CCR) for air diving.
The objective of the TDI AIR DILUENT DECOMPRESSION Rebreather course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for diving a Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) and to develop basic CCR diving skills to a maximum depth of 45 metres / 150 feet using an air diluent for formal decompression diving.
• Setup and maintenance of the unit
• Loop volume management
• Calibration of electronics
• Emergency procedures
• Buoyancy control
• CNS tracking
The individual TDI CCR manuals provide comprehensive information about the units and how they operate during a dive.
This course is run of 5 days and builds upon foundational skills learn an mastered on the entry level class. Divers will learn how to conduct technical decompression dives using the Rebreather managing additional bailout and decompression bottles.
This TDI CCR Air Diluent Decompression Course is Unit Specific. Blue Label Diving can teach the following rebreathers under TDI: JJ CCR, Optima, Megalodon, Pathfinder or Poseidon MKVI and Seven
For Inspiration / Evolution courses Blue Label Diving instructor Ben Reymenants can teach this unit under IART
