Prerequisites:
minimum age 15 and have logged 10
Open Water Dives. |
|
 During the course you
learn to plan no decompression dives using
Enriched Oxygen mixes of up to 40%. There
are many advantages to using nitrox for
recreational diving. Because higher
percentages of oxygen are used this means
less nitrogen so therefore you can
increase your bottom time without
exceeding decompression limits depending
on the percentage of oxygen and depth of
the dive.

| |
| Purpose |
| 1.
This
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. |
| |
| 2.
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. |

D. Program Content
|
|
1. Perform
two skills-training dives following
completion of the confined water session(s)
in which two stage cylinders are used, to
a depth between 60 fsw (18 msw) and 170
fsw (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 130
fsw (39 msw).
|
| |
| 2.
This Program must include a minimum of
200 minutes of open-water run time,
completed within three Trimix dives to
depths between 165 fsw (50 msw) and 260
fsw (79 msw). All depths must be worked
up to incrementally with no increase
greater than 40 fsw (12 msw) from one
dive to the next (the first dive in the
course on mix must not be more than 33
fsw (10 msw) deeper than the student's

dives must follow or use as backups, the
IANTD Tables using one gas switch. One
dive may be made on custom software (all
dives may be backed up by custom
software generated tables provided it is
a Program approved by IANTD). |
