IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix Diver




This program is designed to extend the diver’s knowledge in the use of Trimix for sport diving. It further develops diving skills and provides a greater understanding of the Trimix concept of diving and is intended to supplement the skills of Recreational Trimix Divers.



The program employs mixes from 21% oxygen to a maximum of 1.5 PO2 combined with a Helium content that maintains an END no greater than 24mt (80 fsw) may be used.

The IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix Diver program qualifies divers to perform hyperoxic (> 25% oxygen) trimix dives to maximum depth of 48m while using helium in the breathing mix to reduce the narcosis experienced on the dive to the equivalent of a 24m air dive, as well as air or nitrox dives to 42m. You will also learn to perform required decompression stops up to 15 minutes in duration using nitrox mixtures up to and including 100% oxygen as a decompression gas.

During the course you will demonstrate your ability to safely conduct at least two decompression dives to a maximum depth of 48 meters, including a switch to a rich nitrox mix to accelerate your required decompression. On each dive you will carry out the drills which technical diving makes possible, including shut downs which enable you to deal with catastrophic gas loss in a safe manner and end your dive in a controlled manner. In doing so you will be becoming a self sufficient diver able to deal with buddy separation and/or equipment malfunctions. Completion of the course requires passing the IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix diver exam.

For divers wishing to complete the course on a rebreather (semi-closed or closed-circuit) additional skill requirements may apply, depending on the type of rebreather. Please contact us for details.

For divers already holding the IANTD Advanced Nitrox Diver certification you need only complete the two trimix dives and the trimix portion of the dive theory.

This course requires a minimum time duration of 5 days.
