Trimix I Diver
This course is to provide the diver with the skills and knowledge needed to minimize the risks of utilizing helium based trimix breathing gas mixes for dives to a maximum depth of 73m (240 ft.) requiring staged decompression and utilizing EANx mixtures and/or oxygen during decompression. Upon successful completion of the Trimix I Diver course, graduates are considered competent to plan and execute technical dives that require staged decompression and utilize helium based trimix breathing gas mixtures and EANx and/or oxygen for staged decompression without direct supervision to depths not to exceed 73m (240 ft.) provided the diving activities and the areas dived approximate those of training.
