In 1996, when I completed my Trimix course, we were told that there were about 300 active world-wide and 70 active in the UK. These figures surprised me to the extent that I remembered them. In hindsight, the UK figures were probably about right, but then it comes down to one's definition of "active" and "dive".

I heard an interesting tid bit of information today about the number of certified trimix divers. Someone told me that there are less than 1000 certified trimix divers, and less than 200 active trimix divers. He also mentioned that the youngest woman trimix diver to be certified was 28. I was surprised by all of those numbers. Now I'm curious if they are correct. Maybe you can help. I imagine that there are a lot of people who have been diving mix for years and have never gotten certified. How many of those are there? How many trimix divers, certified and uncertified, are there really? Are there any women under the age of 28 that you know who dive trimix? What about commercial divers? I'm not sure if they were included in those numbers. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
