Tec Trimix Diver (v.5)
The course objective is to extend the depth range available to technical divers trained and qualified to use air, enriched air, and oxygen for technical decompression dives beyond 50 meters/165 feet in open water. The approach is an instructional progression that directly addresses the added hazards, greater demands and challenges present in technical diving, most of which become more pronounced in the depth ranges typically associated with Trimix use.
