As a TDI CCR Air Diluent Decompression or Helitrox Diluent Decompression Diver, the TDI Mixed Gas CCR Diver course is your next step into closed circuit rebreather diving, it is your opportunity to explore a little deeper. Using the latest in technology CCR’s maximize your gas supply and provide the optimum breathing gas for any depth by maintaining a constant partial pressure of oxygen (PPO2). During the dives your TDI Instructor will teach you all the necessary skills to conduct CCR dives utilizing helium as a diluent gas and oxygen levels as low as 16 percent to a maximum depth of 60 metres.

The Training

• Knowledge Development – Once you have signed up for the course, we will provide you with a digital CD manual to read and complete the relevant knowledge reviews before your practical training. You also need to have a copy of the manufacturer’s manual for the specific unit. You will cover areas such as the below, plus many others:
  • Fuel cell management
  • Operational planning

  • Gas mixing
• Classroom Training – You will then review key areas and practise key dry skills with your instructor including the following:
  • Creation of custom dive tables
  • Loop configurations
  • Calculate off-board gas to cover stress situations
