Until recently the terms “Trimix” and “recreational” seemed paradoxical to divers. Trimix was considered to be the domain of extreme divers wishing to go way beyond the depths regarded as safe for recreational divers. A gas for risk-takers prepared to endure long decompression stops in order to make a safe ascent.

The recent wave of reliable and affordable Trimix dive computers plus the increasing availability of the gas at ever more affordable prices has caused many divers to think again. After all, you are already diving with Nitrox and have learned that with a little care when analysing the gas, it offers many advantages over air.

You have already adapted your equipment to be compatible with oxygen-rich gas mixes. Is Trimix so very different? Such a big step?

IART’s technical courses will train you to do just that!
