• The dives should include the proper planning, including an assessment of the dive site, determination of the best mix to be used, gas analysis of cylinder contents and calculation of the MOD; EAD; and CNS-loading. Two separate dives must be conducted within the MOD of the mix used and within no-decompression limits. The student should record his CNS loading after the first dive and take the residual loading into account when planning the second dive. Accurate log book entries following each dive are a mandatory part of the practical skills.

• The student must satisfactorily complete a written exam. Once training requirements are met at the Instructor's discretion, it is necessary to submit an application in order to obtain the corresponding IART certification card. In accordance with IART quality control, the student and Instructor are required to fill in the training protocol form. The instructor must retain this form with the student file

• Proof of a valid Advanced Open water diver certification or equivalent qualification.
• Certification as an IART Nitrox Diver or equivalent (E.g. IANTD, TDI or BSAC).
• At least 50 logged dives including at least 10 logged Nitrox dives.

• All theoretical and practical aspects of no-stop Trimix diving.
