I would like to submit to your opinion an italian issue regarding the trimix diffusion, instruction and practice. Since about one year there's [in Italy] an organization promoting the trimix use, actually it's a trimix training agency, an official organization releasing licenses. They're trimix-only oriented. To partecipate to a trimix class you only need a recreational advanced license, nothing else is requested. They generally request "to have a good experience of immersion with minimum 100 immersions with 30 over 30 meters. At that point it's necessary school to become good divers, trimix divers" Would like to be a trimix instructor? ... "To reach that important qualification it's necessary to be divers really expert and to have the qualification of any other federation or to have a patent of assistant instructor. Course can be kept only by trainers of..." Rumors say the courses consist in auto-training on their trimix manuals and a two days class. A couple of dives are part of the instruction. One important factor... you're requested to pay the bill before the license is released..:-) So far, a recreational instructor, if he studied the manual and partecipated to a class, after a couple of training dives is qualified to :" Trimix instructor condition can patent till companion of 80 meters. Only with right of seniority and revolation he could patent the 95 meters." and there's a promotional offer too:"All instructors of Sport's Diving Federation could reach the patent at a special price. For any information call the number under signed or send us a message." There're some other interesting facts, including the suggested rig: an indipendent dual 15 liters (one filled with mixed gas and the other one with air), assembled on a not better specified B.C. and three regulators. The deco oxigen (from six meters and above) is planned to hung lined below the boat. No long hose is specified or requested, neither lift bag, reel ... I could probably say more but I think there was enough for you. Still alive? Thanks for comments.
