Recreational Trimix Course

Price
£250.00

This Program is designed to provide Sport Divers with a breathing medium for extending their dives to Sport Diving Depths by using ENDs in the 40 to 80 fsw (12 to 24 msw) depth ranges. The diver may elect to dive the "mix" on tables or computers.
The IANTD Recreational Trimix Diver qualification may be taught as a single program or combined with a variety of the IANTD Advanced or Specialty Diver Programs.
The program qualifies divers to do no stop required dives using Recreational Trimix Gas mixtures to a depth of 100 fsw (30 msw) or deeper up to students’ previous qualification level

What do I need to start?

IANTD Recreational Trimix Diver Student Kit.
Equipment used during this Program must be appropriate for the environment, in good working order and serviced to manufacturers recommendations and local laws

What will I do?

All lectures completed with IANTD Course-specific Slides pertaining to the theory in the IANTD Recreational Trimix Diver Student Kit.
Program covers all Recreational Trimix gas mixes from 28% to a maximum of 40% oxygen, and Helium concentrations yielding an END no greater than 80 fsw (24 msw) emphasizing the use of 30 / 25.
Two dives on Recreational Trimix mixtures are required in this course.
It is recommend that this program be taught as a combined Deep Diver course with a minimum of two dives being completed on Recreational Trimix gas mixtures

No dives may be conducted to depths greater of 130 fsw (39 msw) and no END greater than 80 fsw (24 msw).
Appropriate safety decompression stops must be performed. (Safety stops will be at 30 fsw (9 msw) - 20 fsw (6 msw) and 15 fsw (4.5 msw) each stop will be a minimum of 1 minute).
No dives having a mandatory decompression Stop may be made (unless the course is combined with one requiring stops)
No dives made me made with a PO2 greater than 1.6.

Demonstrate; Ability to plan Recreational Trimix dives, good buoyancy control, and proficiency in body posture underwater for a streamlined swimming posture and avoidance of silt.
Configure dive equipment for the most streamlined and efficient method and demonstrate proficiency in its management.
Perform gas sharing drill on the alternate second stage, while having the out of gas diver swim 40 feet (12m) to the donor without breathing.
Perform one gas sharing drill on ascent.

How long will it take?

The IANTD Recreational Trimix Course is conducted over one day if conducted alone or two days if combined with the IANTD Deep Diver Course

What will I need?

Must be a qualified Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent and EANx Diver or take the EANx Diver course in conjunction with the Recreational Trimix Diver course.
Must provide proof of a minimum of 15 logged dives.
Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorization, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval.

Where can I go from here?

Remving narcosis becomes even more important the deeper you go. The next step of learning decompression techniques to dive safely beyond recreational limits is the natural progression through the technical diveing training path. Ask you instructor about the IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix Course
