Trimix

This course provides the training required to competently and safely utilize breathing gasses containing helium for dives that require staged decompression, utilizing Nitrox and/or oxygen mixtures during decompression to a maximum depth of 60msw.

The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures of utilizing oxygen / helium / nitrogen mixtures as breathing gases.Gas mixtures are not to have any less than eighteen (18) percent 02.
