Even though the Pacific Northwest has some of the best cold water diving to offer, technical diving is now just becoming something other than that "mystified" word belched out by dive professionals. To my knowledge, I do not know of anybody who is certified to teach TriMix or Heliox, in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon) and it has only been recently that NITROX is starting to be taught (Northern Washington State). But, fortunately I dive and train with a NAUI instructor who has started to introduce NITROX to the Seattle area and has scheduled a TriMix course this March. Already, there has been an outstanding reply from people from Canada to California! He is flying a certified TriMix instructor (I don't recall who, but I'll find out and let you know) from Florida for a weekend to do the teaching! Even though the course will be horribly expensive ($1000), it is considerable cheaper than having to fly to Florida for some Mix training. As for myself? I am just a NAUI Advanced diver who is finishing up his Divemaster training and happens to have Deep certification as well as IAND NITROX certification. Nothing too special and I am still debating whether to take the TriMix course or not - it does require that I take Technical NITROX as well. Sorry to blab on, but this is especially for Northwest technical divers and the rest of you techies out there: if you are ever in the vicinity of Seattle, or are interested in this upcoming TriMix course, or just want to do some tech diving with our little gang of tech divers, please contact; Subsea Specialties Capt. Steve Pearson (NAUI Instructor) P.O. BOX 41 Edmonds, WA. 98020 (206) 542-0375 Or just send me a line! Looking forward to seeing more tech divers in the Northwest! Happy Diving, Michael Parker ********************************** Michael W.
