Adriaan- Usually you need to wait 3 or 4 days for your post to read by someone who might have the answer, in your case the laws governing this type of activity in Belgium. Here in the US of A you can do what you describe to your hearts desire. You go out and buy a tank of He and off you go. Whether or not certain folks should do this is another discussion, certainly there are no laws governing this sort of activity. And if there were they would be virtually impossible to enforce. It is hard to procure tables for trimix (or heliox) diving as there are so many variables insofar as what kind of accelerated deco schedual you decide to use. Your best bet is to get a proven deco tables program such as Decom. On my trimix site I have a free program for Macintosh, MigPlan, you can download to get an idea of how you deco from He mixtures. There are no instructions with the software but it is typical Mac software and safe to say if you can't figure it out you are probably not ready to dive mixed gases anyway. You're lack of understanding on the difference between trimix vs. heliox points to this in your case. As far a how to get a c-card, you need to ask around to your fellow divers and see who is teaching in your part of the planet. >dive HeliOx mixtures?( I know where to get Trimix education, so don't >bother about that, it's the HeliOx I'm interested in). Or put in a You must really be cracking up some instructors over there with this statement, heheheh. Read up on the stuff on my web site before you go and make a fool of yourself (if it's not too late).
