IANTD Advanced Nitrox & Advanced Rec Trimix Diver

IANTD ADVANCED NITROX & ADVANCED REC TRIMIX DIVER COURSE

The foundation program for safe self sufficient diving. The IANTD Advanced Nitrox/ ART 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.

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.
