Advanced Trimix Diver
The Advanced Trimix Diver program will enable divers to expand and sharpen their skills while helping them to build confidence.
Specific topics covered include advanced helium (He)-based dive planning, operational planning for multi-stage tank management, working with safety divers, extended oxygen exposure, advanced multi-stage gas management, as well as a number of standard operating procedures for various in-water failures. A large focus will be on in-water timed (equipment failures) problem solving. Divers will be exposed to a number of different gas mixtures, both as bottom gas and in multiple stages during decompression. Divers will learn to complete a range of skills, and will have to demonstrate competence and comfort in water. |
This is the final stage in open water deep diving. Divers thinking about taking an Advanced Trimix course should have at least two years of technical diving experience and have logged about 100 decompression dives.
