DECOMPRESSION / LIMITED TRIMIX DECOMPRESSION

If you already master the Twinset or Sidemount configuration, you know that spending more time at the bottom comes with a price: longer decompression stops. Would you like to reduce those wait times at the anchor line while increasing your safety?

In this course, you will take the next logical step: integrating a stage bottle loaded with Nitrox (up to 100% oxygen). This tool allows us to accelerate nitrogen off-gassing to surface sooner, significantly reducing the decompression obligation. Furthermore, having an alternative gas at the maximum operating depth provides an extra gas source during the dive, completely transforming our risk management.

This is the true entry point to the wonderful world of decompression diving. Throughout the program, we will analyze in depth the physics and physiology that govern our bodies under pressure, breaking down Decompression theories to understand the “what” and “why” of every stop. You will learn to plan Deco dives with your own criteria, selecting the most suitable gases for each objective and training protocols to resolve any emergency situation with total safety.

Upon completing this certification, you will have the necessary training to perform dives with mandatory stops up to 40 meters using air as a bottom gas, or up to 45 meters using Helitrox Trimix. It is time to leave behind the limitations of conventional recreational diving and start diving smarter, safer, and more technically.
