Tec 45 Trimix
During the course you will further develop the basic skills in technical diving that you learned during your Tec 40 course. This is a course that put great demands on you as a diver. In order to succeed on the course, you must be well prepared and willing to work hard. There is no guarantee that you will succeed on the course on the first attempt. All dives on the course deeper than 40 meters are conducted with trimix. In addition to the course fee, gas costs are added. After the course you are qualified to conduct and plan decompression dives with unlimited decompression to 45 meters, with air, nitrox or trimix (minimum 21% oxygen and maximum 35% helium) as bottom gas and any oxygen mixture as deco gas (up to 100% oxygen).
