Description of the Tek Lite Course:
- Recreational Trimix
This course will revolutionise your diving! It is the start of taking control of your environment by using exotic gasses. This will mean safer deeper diving, with clarity of mind at depth.
Advanced Nitrox and Recreational Trimix courses are the start of your technical diving. The good news is that you still use a single cylinder so there is no equipment overload. Your normal scuba gear with a few slight modifications is all you will need.
This course is designed to extend the diver’s knowledge in the use of EANx and Helium based mixtures for Sport diving.
This enables you to use EANx mixes from 21% to a maximum of 50% oxygen. It also allows use of helium based mixtures for dives deeper than 24meters that provide a PO2 no greater than 1.5 at the TOD (Total operating depth) with a Helium content that maintains an END (equivalent narcotic depth) no greater than 24meter.
This course qualifies divers to perform Trimix Dives outside of full Trimix training to dive up to 30meters(48meters if deep qualified). Only a single cylinder will be used.
Prerequisites:
- Must be qualified as ADV Diver and Nitrox (can do combination of Nitrox and tek lite))with proof of a minimum of 15 logged dives or sufficient experience to satisfy the instructor that the student has the ability and knowledge to continue into this level of training.
- Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorization, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval.
Course Outline:
All Lecture and theory material must be completed.
Students must demonstrate Gas sharing drills, proficiency in equipment management, precision buoyancy by hovering for 3 minutes and demonstrate an ascent of 10m/min. perform required decompression stops if doing the ADV recreational course
You will be taught the use of recreational Trimix mixtures from 25% to a maximum of 40% oxygen and with helium content that maintains an END no greater than 24 msw for diving. The gas will always be breathable from the surface to maximum dive depth. Up to 50% oxygen will be used for the deco stops.
