Normoxic Decompression in worldwide: 5 instructors on TecDiveTools, with the agencies and courses each teaches, and a summary of what students say.
TecDiveTools lists 5 instructors teaching Normoxic Decompression worldwide.
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 5 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, 4 have a written synthesis of what reviewers say about them. How we read and count reviews.

About the course
Normoxic Decompression teaches staged decompression diving on normoxic trimix (a breathable-at-surface gas blend with at least 18% oxygen), reducing nitrogen narcosis while maintaining adequate oxygen for decompression stops. This intermediate technical course for experienced RAID divers covers normoxic trimix gas physics and blending, narcosis reduction through gas selection, multi-stage decompression procedures, equipment configuration for sidemount or twinset systems, bailout protocols, and problem-solving at moderate technical depths. Maximum depth is 60 meters (200 feet). Graduates can safely execute complex open-water technical dives and explore deeper wreck interiors and cave systems.
Manage detailed gas needs for exploration and decompression, execute multi-stage decompression dives to 60 metres with proper oxygen management, control END (Equivalent Narcotic Depth), balance precision with variable adjustments, and solve problems at technical depths.
5 instructors on TecDiveTools teach RAID Normoxic Decompression worldwide: Thailand (3), Indonesia (1) and Philippines (1). Each is listed above.
