Nitrox & Trimix Training

Dives beyond the recreational depths of 130 fsw and/or No Decompression Limits (NDL) are becoming increasingly popular due to global accessibility of interesting locations, purposely created sites, discovery of new wrecks and enhanced levels of training and equipment performance.

In your recreational training you learned that Nitrogen can be narcotic so we increase the amount of oxygen. Oxygen can, however,  become poisonous so we have to reduce our depth.

So how can you go deeper or longer with safety?

Courses are designed to gradually increase your knowledge to allow for deeper, longer dives as you gain more experience.

• Advanced Nitrox: First technical level for many divers. This course introduces the varying equipment types standard to technical divers and allows you to plan and execute decompression dives
• Advance Recreational Trimix: Introduces the concept of Helium (He) in the breathing gas and allows you to start to go deeper to 160 fsw. (Note: this can also be your first technical course)
• Technical Diver (OC): With more experience you're now ready to plan deeper dives to 180 fsw with longer decompression
• Normoxic Trimix and (Full) Trimix: The experienced technical diver can now plan dives in excess of 200 even 300 fsw. Divers at these levels are able to explore places visited by only a few other people and can be considered to be very experienced divers.

Using either computer based planning tools or manual formulae we can determine the right breathing gas mixture for our planned depths together with the amount of gas and decompression we will need.
