Advanced Trimix... As Deep As It Gets!

Advanced Trimix... As Deep As It Gets! This is the last video in our series looking at the core training progression of the Open Circuit (OC) Technical Diver. We are dropping out O2 percentage to hypoxic levels and going to the maximum depth a sport diver can reach... 330ft or 100m!

As always, we are going to look at the training involved, the prerequisites for advanced trimix course and the qualifications of those elite divers and who this course is best suited for. If you are ready to join the 1% of the 1% of divers, this is the ultimate challenge in scuba diving.

The underwater footage was shot on a dive with friends of mine on the Queen Of Nassau, an old wreck found in 230ft of water, 5 miles off the coast of Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Diving the Florida Keys is amazing, but this wreck is deep, dark and scary!

As always, thanks for watching!

Advanced Trimix... As Deep As It Gets!

I gotta say, the thing I appreciate most about your videos is that you actually include footage of the topic that you are talking about, instead of other channels where we just see their face or a random internet photo at best. Makes it really easy to understand and get into the video

[mustanggun]

Yes, I am Normoxic Trimix certified, Barry Shivley was my instructor, and yes he is a great instructor. It was the best dive course Ive ever taken. We also did Advanced Wreck, and was privliged to dive deep into the Oriskany. I will be going back for more of that fun. And I do plan on purchasing a rebreather.

[andrecandrade]

I'm definitely planning to move to CCR soon. However, the experience and knowledge of OC Adv Trimix is still very important. Managing several bottles, very deep and dark...all this will only make you a better 200' diver.

[timgosling]

What a fine approach to instruction. Aimed at divers who aim to acquire skill, not just a tick in a box.

[jru]

Love this video! Newly certified decompression procedures diver here!

I was TDI Trimix (60m) for about 19 years, qualifying in 2000 and then decided to do my PADI Tec Trimix (max 90m) in 2019 because there was a couple of deep wrecks near me that I had the chance of diving off the Dorset coast. I’ve never tried a CCR and to be honest, it’s not something high on my list, for one thing, the “box of death” was just coming out when I started to dive in the late 90s and there was quite a high incident rate compared to the numbers of divers using them. The other thing that puts me off is the cost, £7500 for the unit and upwards of £1000 for training. That equates to a lot of helium. My last dive to 75m cost me about £300 in gas, most of the time its ITRO £200 for a 55m dive and I probably only do 3-5 TX dives a year.

THANK YOU for your advice about taking a rebreather class instead of an open circuit advanced trimix class. I've been contemplating this for years now. And thanks for posting all this good info!

[sumbeach]

You are right on point about forego advance trimix and go for rebreather instead....many years ago trimix (heliox, Hal Watts) was much more affordable then the rebreathers of the era but not any longer...I made the treak thru the system and completed my bucket list of dives. Now I have a room filled with dive gear that rivels most dive stores that equals the investment of at least several top tier rebreathers and its outdated and wasting away ...

[lamanawebu]

thank you for introduction and respect to all tec divers :) it looks like looong way to get this level .. hopefully there are enough places under 40m for ordinary people with "basic" skills :D

[joepadula]

Happy Monday James!! Thanks for the great video.

[eric]

I figured you weren't a fan of extended range, but looking forward to your thoughts on it.

[DarrenKeeble]

Yeah I’m a MOD 3 technical advance trimix CCR diver.. even though we are certified for 100 mtrs yes we still train and practice skills a lot of the time and have lead up dives for those deeper ones.. I find your mind set has to be 100% and focused. I always expect the unexpected and be prepared for everything.. it’s not a game and no calling time out down there.. safe diving. 👍

[williamsweet]

I went the direction of CCR. It's expensive in the beginning but like you said, should pay off over time.

[marksaxby]

I'll probably never go deeper than 50M (I started too old!), but if I ever did pursue that route I'd definitely be looking at doing it on a CCR - The cost of Trimix is just too high for it to make any sense. However, I agree with another comment about the skills involved in managing multiple cylinders and travel gasses being a useful thing for any diver looking at going beyond recreational depths.

[xarismarga]

Informative and to the point as always. Thanks!

[simonsays]

Makes a change to see an instructor who doesn't just take the money and hand out the certs. It took me years to go from single cylinder diving up to full trimix and stage cylinders. I then went onto CCR with air diluent and up to full trimix CCR. The cost of diving open circuit trimix is very expensive now compared to using CCR once you've paid for the unit. CCR is also more flexible when doing deeper dives.

[Raybrienza]

Interested in the technical side of diving... It will be a while before I can get to Advanced Trimix. it is a goal. I have got a few certifications to get before. I currently at teaching Decompression diving. Did a lot of stupid diving in the 80's and 90's, then I grew up and learned that I should not be doing somethings like I had. --- Glad to be here and still diving.

I have done a few re breather dives - to bulky to travel with, the cost of maintaining, and brand specific to the type of re breather. My check out the new REVO Mares .. will need to look at it at dema sometime.

[colmdoherty]

Think it’s the beginning of the end for trimix diving unless gas prices seriously reduce

[davo]

Yo are absolutely Makes a lot of sense to go for CCR instead of open circuit!!!! Thanks....

[dansiegel]

Personally I decided to go Advanced Trimix myself. Yes the cost is more per dive than a CCR but I didn't want my certification to be the limiting factor while I put money away for that CCR. Plus it'll take a while diving the CCR before I can go CCR tech
