IANTD ADVANCED RECREATIONAL TRIMIX DIVER COURSE
The foundation program for safe self sufficient diving. The IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix program covers the core skills from the technical diver training programs including:
- Use of twinsets with central isolation manifolds
- Decompression skills
- Procedures using bottom mixes of Recreational Trimix
An essential component of this program is equipment configuration which is covered in a series of lectures and practical workshops. The aim being to construct a safe self sufficient equipment configuration that is streamlined, accessible and promotes familiarity. Theory covered includes the END concept, oxygen physiology, oxygen tracking, the use of EANx as a decompression gas, gas switching techniques, partial pressures and best mixes.
The back gases you will be qualified to use after the course include oxygen contents between 21% to 40% combined with a helium content to yield an Equivalent Narcotic Depth (END) no greater than 24 msw (80 fsw). You will be qualified to dive to 48 msw (160 fsw) and to perform decompression stops utilising EANx decompression mixtures with an oxygen concentration no greater than 1.5 pO2 for a maximum duration of 15 minutes.
PREREQUISITES
- Must be qualified as an IANTD Recreational Trimix Diver or Nitrox Diver and IANTD Deep Diver with proof of a minimum of 30 logged dives or sufficient experience to satisfy the instructor that the student has the ability and knowledge to continue into this level of training
- Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorization, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
- IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix Diver Student Kit

Human Factors in Diving: The essentials
This 3-hour online class is a great starting point to find out why we make mistakes and how we can reduce the likelihood of an accident or adverse event occurring. We dive into decision making, situational awareness, communication and cooperation skills, and crucially, their interdependence. Using case studies and practical exercise, we bring the topic to life.
