Trimix Training

Trimix Divers

  • Qualifies the diver to conduct open circuit dives beyond the narcotic limits of nitrogen and the toxic limits of oxygen by introducing helium into the breathing mix.
  • The maximum depth for the course is 75m but there currently no maximum depths imposed by helium diving.
  • Min Entry Requirements: 18 years, Rescue diver, proof of current CPR or first aid, be a PADI TEC Deep diver or certification from other organization and have a minimum of 150 logged dives..


IT WILL CHALLENGE YOU

  • This course progresses you through the water skills and theoretical concepts.
  • It will re-enforce concepts learnt within prior technical training.
  • It will train and improve your solution thinking and ’situation’ management.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Five theory modules and a final exam will develop and consolidate your technical knowledge.
  • The 8 training dives will take you gradually deeper progressing to your max.

Completed on Koh Tao-Flexible Schedule over 2 days.
The Tec Trimix course begins with knowledge development and shallow water skills completed as training dive 1 in less than 10mtr. We like to complete all theoretic aspects before leaving on the liveabord so that we can focus on diving and dive planning - putting the theory that you just learnt into practice.

Training dive 2 acts as a technical refresher and/or orientation dive for divers entering the course from another training agency. Depths min 27 mtr-max 50 mtr. (See note at bottom of page.)

Completed on Technical Wreck Liveaboard

  • Your 4 day (8 dive) technical liveabaord is fully included in the price of your course.
  • Only 5-6 dives dives will be used for training, which means you can enjoy a further 2-3 fun dives .
  • Most divers choose to extend the liveaboard to include some of the most spectucular sites which your trimix qualification enables you to dive. The Gulfs most amazing wrecks so far- the USS Lagarto, The Seacrest Drill Ship, The Tottori Maru.

Day 1 of Liveaboard
Training dive 3, is your first dive using Helium in the mix. It is a normoxic (21% oxygen content) dive completed between 30 to 50 mtr.

Training dive 4 ,40-55 mtr, is only completed when dive 2 is required, it consolidates that learning. (See note at bottom of page)
