Trimix diver program is designed for
those individuals already involved in deep diving
activities, but is not intended to be used as an
enticement to divers who are content to remain in
normal Sport or EANx diving limits.
Trimix affords a safer means for deep-water exploration
for divers who dive deep or perform with a clear
head at depth. The IANTD Trimix Diver Program requires
the diver to be self-sufficient/reliant.
Prerequisites:
Must
be min. a Divemaster
Normoxic Trimix diver.
Minimum of 18 years of age.
Must provide proof of a minimum of 250 logged dives,
of which at least 75 were deeper than 30 msw, and
at least 25 between depths 39 msw and 51 msw.
Equipment required: Scuba tank min. 2x12l with isolation
mainfold OXY clean, 2 stage tank 5-10l OXY clean,
min. 4 regulators, lift bag, reel etc. You can get
the whole list from your instructor.
Duration
and steps of the course:
15
hours of classroom.
Theoretical test.
Swimming pool lessons.
Stamina test at the swimming pool and in open water.
Perform two skills-training dives following completion
of the confined water session(s) in which two stage
cylinders are used, to a depth between 18 msw and
51 msw. These dives may be on air or Trimix provided
the depths are acceptable for the gas used, and
two gas switches are practiced during ascent. Divers
progressing from Normoxic Trimix to Trimix may not
do dives on air deeper than 39 msw.
This Program must include a minimum of 200 minutes
of open-water run time, completed within three Trimix
dives to depths between 50 msw and 79 msw. All depths
must be worked up to incrementally with no increase
greater than 12 msw from one dive to the next (the
first dive in the course on mix must not be more
than 10 msw deeper than the students previous
experience in deep diving). One dive must be to
at least 60 msw or deeper.
All dives must include two gas switches.
Qualification
of graduates:
To dive hipoxyc Trimix mixes.
