 The IANTD Normoxic Trimix Technical Diver Course is aimed at those who wish to dive in the zone between 39meters (130 feet) and 60msw (200fsw) but are Not comfortable doing so on air. Trimix will reduce the effects of narcosis to those depths.
The IANTD Normoxic Trimix Diver Course uses normoxic mixtures and consists of 12 dives and one three hour confined water session.
Six dives are on air to depths between 30msw (100fsw) and 39msw (130fsw) and Six Dives involve practicing specified skills at depths between 9meters (30feet) and 27meters (90feet). All dives wiil be performed with two stage cylinders.
Four Trimix Dives are also made in this normoxic Trimix course with Two at depths up to 50msw (165fsw) and two at depths up to 60msw (200fsw). This is an intense seven day program enabeling the Trimix student to be qualified to call themselves normoxic Trimix OC Diver to 60msw (200fsw).
It does Not qualify the diver to use hypoxic mixtures to participate in diving deeper than 60msw (200fsw). The theoretically part of this normoxic Trimix course is IANTD's "Technical Diver Encyclopedia", associated "Technical Diver Workbook", Slides and water-proof tables which are approved in writing by the board of directors (written approval will be issued by IAND, Inc./IANTD World Headquarters).
