Cost - US$ 250
Duration - 2 days
Prerequisites : minimum age 15 and have logged 10 Open Water Dives.
During the course you learn to plan no decompression dives using Enriched Oxygen mixes of up to 40%. There are many advantages to using nitrox for recreational diving. Because higher percentages of oxygen are used this means less nitrogen so therefore you can increase your bottom time without exceeding decompression limits depending on the percentage of oxygen and depth of the dive. |

These dives may be on air or Trimix provided the depths are acceptable for the gas used, and two gas switches are practiced during ascent. Divers progressing from Normoxic Trimix to Trimix may not do dives on air deeper than 130 fsw (39 msw). |
| |
| 2. This Program must include a minimum of 200 minutes of open-water run time, completed within three Trimix dives to depths between 165 fsw (50 msw) and 260 fsw (79 msw). All depths must be worked up to incrementally with no increase greater than 40 fsw (12 msw) from one dive to the next (the first dive in the course on mix must not be more than 33 fsw (10 msw) deeper than the student's previous experience in deep diving).

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) on Rebreathers the maximum depth is 170 fsw (51 msw). All divers must make one dive to at least 170 fsw (51 msw) and no dives deeper than 200 fsw (60 msw) All dives must follow or use as backups, the IANTD Tables using one gas switch.
