The TDI Advanced Trimix Diver Course is the top level of training for
open circuit divers wishing to dive to depths as deep as 100 metres/330
feet utilizing hypoxic levels of
oxygen (below 17 percent). This course is perhaps one of the most informative
and challenging of all of the TDI open circuit courses. Upon completion,
you will be among some of the
most elite divers, capable of doing and seeing more while diving than
any other divers out there.
The TDI Extended Range or Trimix Diver looking to: Extend their depth
range
Advance their technical diving education
Advanced decompression dive planning including: Gas planning based
on equivalent narcotic depths, nitrogen and helium absorption and elimination,
CNS and OTU limits, isobaric counter diffusion,
volume requirements, etc.
Use of hypoxic gasses
HPNS and isobaric counter diffusion
Decompression gas choices
Tables vs. personal dive computers
Emergency and contingency planning (equipment failure, omitted decompression,
etc.)
Decompression diving procedures Equipment selection
Pre-dive checks and drills
Stress analysis and mitigation
Following a decompression schedule
Gas switching
Team awareness and communication
SMB/lift bag deployment
Proper trim, buoyancy and fining techniques
Management of multiple (minimum of 3) decompression/stage cylinders
Emergency procedures (equipment failures, catastrophic gas loss, omitted
decompression, navigational errors, injured/unconscious diver, etc)
Equipment considerations, cylinder labeling, analyzing trimix nitrox
and mixes, and gas blending procedures
Ability to conduct technical diving activities using custom trimix mixtures without direct supervision, so long as the following limits are adhered to: The diving activities approximate those of training The areas of activities approximate those of training Environmental conditions approximate those of training
Satisfactorily complete the TDI Advanced Trimix course written examination with a passing score of 80%, followed by 100% remediation by the instructor Complete all open water requirements safely and efficiently Demonstrate mature, sound judgment concerning dive planning and execution
