PADI Tec Trimix 65 Diver

This course opens up the advantages of Trimix to the diver by allowing multi-stop decompression dives that employ EANx and Oxygen for accelerated decompression, and any trimix with an Oxygen content of 18% or more.

The diver can extend their range to a maximum of 65 metres.

Overview

The PADI Tec Trimix 65 course is intended to extend the depth range of technical divers already trained and qualified to use air, enriched air and oxygen for technical decompression dives beyond 50 metres /165 feet.

This course is for Tec 50 divers (or those holding a qualifying certification from another training organization).
