So a diver with 100 dives and a Nitrox card can take a trimix course? > : > IANTD has a Normoxic Trimix program, this program has been an IANTD Trimix > course for three years now, it was formerly called Intermediate Trimix/ > Below are some excerpts from the Normoxic Trimix Diver Standards > > Normoxic Trimix Diver > > A. Purpose > 1. This Program is designed to train those who wish to dive to depths > between 130 fsw (39 msw) and 200 fsw (60 msw), but who do not wish to > breathe air below 130 fsw (39 msw). Trimix affords a means of reducing > narcosis on dives to such depths. > B. Prerequisites > 1. Must be qualified as an IANTD Advanced EANx Diver. . > 2. Must provide proof of a minimum of 100 logged dives, of which at least 30 > were deeper than 90 fsw (27 msw). > 3. Must be a minimum of 18 years of age. > OR, if being accepted in the Program based on equivalent experience: > 4. Must be a qualified IANTD EANx Diver or equivalent. > 5. Must provide proof of a minimum of 150 logged dives, of which at least 50 > were deeper than 90 fsw (27 msw). > 6. Must be a minimum of 18 years of age. > > 2. This Program must include a minimum of three Air or EANx dives in OW (or > overhead environments if the diver is already qualified or if taking this > Program in conjunction with a cave or wreck course) to depths not to exceed > 130 fsw (39 msw). Two of these dives must be to depths deeper than 100 fsw > (30 msw). On all of the dives the student must manage one stage cylinder. > > 3. This Program must also include a minimum of three dives in OW (or > overhead environments if the diver is already qualified or if taking this > Program in conjunction with a cave or wreck course) on Trimix using one gas > switch. These dives may be performed at depths between 130 fsw (39 msw) and > 200 fsw (60 msw). All divers must make one dive to at least 180 fsw (54 msw) > and no dives deeper than 200 fsw (60 msw) > 4. This Program must include a minimum of 300 minutes of run time, including > Air, EANx and Trimix dives. > 5. To complete the course within the minimum specified dives students must > have an average of 8 points (out of 10) on the watermanship evaluations. > With 2 or more additional dives the student may graduate from the course > with an overall average score of 6 points > > There is no requirement to have dived deeper on air than 130 feet and dives > in the course below 130 feet on anything other than Trimix is prohibited. > Again we have had this course (formerly called intermediate Trimix) for the > past three years. > > Respectfully yours, > Tom Mount > CEO IANTD World HQ > http://www.iantd.com > > -- > Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. > Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
