What will I do?
The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course
is intended to extend the depth range available to technical divers trained and
qualified to use air, enriched air and oxygen for technical decompression dives
beyond 50 metres/165 feet in open water. The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course is intended
for technical divers certified as DSAT Tec Deep Divers (or qualifying certification
from another training organization). The course extends their depth range capabilities
by training them in the use of trimix (helium, oxygen and nitrogen).
What will I
need?
