TDI Air Diluent CCR Decompression Procedures Diver - 40 m
Take your CCR diving beyond no-decompression limits.
Whether you’re an open-circuit technical diver transitioning to rebreathers or a certified CCR diver ready to progress, this course develops the planning, control and procedures needed for decompression diving.
At Black & White Diving, we focus on understanding your unit and building consistent habits. Equipment preparation, buoyancy, loop management and team awareness form the foundation, giving you the capacity to manage decompression obligations and respond effectively when a dive doesn’t go to plan.
This unit specific course trains you for formal decompression diving to a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet, using air as a diluent.
Available on the Divesoft Liberty in Backmount and Sidemount configurations. Halcyon Symbios coming soon. Unit and configuration suitability are discussed before booking.

Yes! Our Liberty Try Dive lets you experience rebreather diving in calm, shallow water, with a full briefing and kit set-up.
Do I need my own rebreather?
No. We have Divesoft Liberty rebreathers available to rent during your training.
Backmount or sidemount Liberty?
Both use the same Liberty electronics and loop. Backmount is classic and very stable; sidemount is modular and great for travel and tight spaces. We’ll help you choose.
