TDI INSTRUCTOR COURSE – ADVANCED TRIMIX – HYPOXIC

The TDI Advanced Trimix Instructor Course – Hypoxic trimix – only available in Phuket Thailand, provides the training required to competently and safely teach breathing gases containing helium for dives that need staged decompression to a maximum depth of 100 metres. The goal of this course is to train Instructors to teach the benefits, hazards and proper procedures of utilising custom oxygen/helium/nitrogen mixtures as breathing gases containing less than 18% Oxygen – HYPOXIC TRIMIX.

As Phuket’s regular Dive Sites do not reach these depths, our Advanced trimix Instructors will take you to the lake down south of Thailand, called Song Hong. This Lake is a Sink Hole which reaches 177 meters depth. If you would rather dive deep walls than our facility in Bunaken Indonesia, that has walls that go deeper than 2000 meters, please contact us directly for more information as there is a minimum requirement for the amount of students.
