Are you looking to expand your depth range? Do you want to reduce the risk of narcosis during deep dives? The TDI Trimix Diver Course could be your next step!

As your motivation to explore increases, you may want to go deeper.  Perhaps it’s a specific wreck on your bucket list or maybe a cave system you’ve read about. One of the major limiting factors of going deeper is narcosis; TDI’s Trimix Diver course shows how to minimize the effects of narcosis by adding helium to offset the nitrogen in your breathing gas. 

During the Trimix Diver course, your TDI Instructor will teach you how to plan and execute dives utilizing as little as 18 percent oxygen and diving to a maximum depth of 60 metres with a blend of helium appropriate for the planned depth.
