  TRIMIX Diver Program                                                                                                                           

            As your motivation to explore progresses you will find that you may want to go deeper to dive that wreck that is part of history or that cave system that you have read so much 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
 
While taking 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 maximum depth of 60m/200ft with a blend of helium appropriate for the planned depth. The course covers topics and skills like:
 
  • Dive team planning
  • Gas matching
  • Cylinder labeling
  • Surface marker deployment from depth
  • Equipment configuration
  • Best mix for each depth
 

This course is essential if you want to seriously dive some of the deep wrecks around Singapore such as the Repulse or Prince of Wales, and is beneficial for shallower wrecks as well, particularly for those divers who are a little more prone to narcosis 

 
Yes, you can dive to 55m or 60m on air, but will you really enjoy the dive? How much of it are you going to remember afterwards? And most importantly are you really capable of handling an emergency at depth on a deep air dive? Trimix is increasingly recognized as the way forward
