Trimix - Techies and Tickle...

Do you remember 10 years ago, maybe a little more, when the word Nitrox began to trickle down into divers' vocabulary? People said, 'it's the way forward' about the benefits of Text Enriched Air diving, despite the extra education necessary.

You may find pretty soon that the same might be being said of Text Trimix diving, which is becoming so popular in technical diving that for many, it is considered the natural compliment to the Text Tec Deep course and is taken soon after achieving this.

Trimix, just like Enriched Air Nitrox has its own unique set of benefits and limitations or considerations. It requires highly accurate and rigid decompression stops, with less distance between stops, resulting in more stops before surfacing. Just as with Nitrox, different schools take different approaches to educating divers about this new set of skills and tools.

Here at Techwise we teach DSAT, IANTD and TDI courses, covering a range of these different approaches and disciplines. We figure the more options available, the better we can accommodate students to let them pick the perfect mix for their diving. And as you might know by know, when we're talking Trimix, getting just the right mix is pretty important!
