TDI Helitrox in Florida West Coast (Tampa Bay): 6 dive centres on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say.
TecDiveTools lists 6 dive centres teaching TDI Helitrox in Florida West Coast (Tampa Bay), United States.
Listings are ordered by how much evidence exists about their technical diving, not by a star rating, with any paid Featured listing shown first and marked as such (how rankings work). 4 of these 6 carry reviews we have read and classified as being about technical or overhead training. The count excludes recreational certifications by name, so a busy resort does not outrank a one-instructor cave operation on the volume of its reef trips. Separately, 3 have at least one instructor whose reviews we have read and summarised — a dive centre carries no synthesis of its own. How we read and count reviews.

About the course
Helitrox teaches decompression diving using helium-blended breathing gases to manage narcosis at moderate depths. This course bridges the gap between air/nitrox and full trimix, introducing divers to helium's benefits without the complexity of deep trimix training. Graduates can plan and execute stage-decompression dives using helium mixes (up to 35% He content) alongside nitrox and oxygen decompression gases, to a maximum depth of 45m/150ft.
Students must complete 4 open-water dives (2 must exceed 30m/100ft depth) with demonstrated mastery of: helium gas physics and physiology, decompression stop calculations with multiple gas mixtures, proper equipment configuration, safe gas switches at depth, emergency procedures for decompression gas failures, and correct ascent with staged stops.
6 dive centres on TecDiveTools teach TDI Helitrox in Florida West Coast (Tampa Bay), United States. Each is listed above.
Deep training usually means offshore wrecks — the Spiegel Grove and Bibb at around 40 m off Key Largo, and the USS Oriskany, whose flight deck at about 43 m and sand at about 65 m take you into trimix territory.
