Course Content
Similar to the advanced nitrox course, the advanced recreational Trimix course is typically run over four days, two days of theory and two days of diving. The first day covers all the required theory for the course, with the second day containing workshops. Once again, these workshops allow you hands on experience with various bits of equipment, included a multitude of dive planning software. There is also a multiple choice exam to complete in your own time. Trimix has been the sole province of technical divers. this course is designed to bring the many advantages of Trimix (mainly the low narcotic potential) to less qualified divers who wish to explore depths down to 45m.

Theory Covered Includes

   Advantages of Trimix
   Equipment considerations
   Gas use and buoyancy
   Oxygen Theory
   Inert Gas Narcosis
   CO2 retention
   DCS review
   Dive Planning Equation
   Accident Management Review
   Dive Planning Considerations
   Dive Planning Workshops
   Equipment Workshops
   Question and Answer Sessions

Practical Aspects Covered Includes

   Four dives totalling 120 minutes of bottom time, completed on recreational Trimix, with a 50% Nitrox
      decompression mix used on all dives.

   Gas Analysis considerations

   Correct use of reels and DSMBs

   Introduction to multiple level decompression stops

   Introduction of a number of essential new diving skills

Prerequisites
Course is open to all divers over the age of 18 (15 with parent or guardian approval) qualified a Basic Nitrox Diver and Deep Diver with proof of a minimum of 25 logged dives or sufficient experience to satisfy the instructor that the student has the ability and knowledge to continue into this level of training.

Equipment Requirements
Basic scuba equipment is required along with

   A form of redundant gas supply, either a twin set or a dual outlet cylinder fitted with 2 regulators (Dual
      outlet 15ltrs vailable)

   A decompression stage cylinder and regulator (Provided in course costs, 7ltr or 3ltr as required)

   Reel and DSMB

   Slate

Qualification
Upon completion of the course and passing of the written exam, the IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix card will be issued. This qualifies the diver to use mixes of 21% to a maximum of 40% oxygen combined with a percentage of helium to provide an END of no greater than 24m for bottom mix and 50% oxygen for decompression, to a depth of 45msw with limited decompression..
