NORMOXIC TRIMIX 67m

Ocean Dreams Tenerife offers the Normoxic Trimix 67m technical diving certification, a specialized course designed to expand your deep diving capabilities. This program focuses on the safe and effective use of helium-based breathing mixtures, specifically those containing a minimum of 18% oxygen and a maximum of 30% helium. These advanced gas blends are crucial for mitigating nitrogen narcosis at depths up to 67 meters, allowing for more controlled and extended bottom times. The training involves practical application of techniques learned in prerequisite courses, with a strong emphasis on precise execution and risk management.

The course curriculum delves into the unique properties of helium, including its thermal conductivity and impact on gas density, which divers must understand for proper management. Participants will master advanced gas planning, selecting optimal bottom and decompression gases to ensure safe ascents from significant depths. The maximum planned decompression for these dives is 60 minutes, providing ample opportunity to practice extended decompression profiles. This certification, provided by SSI, equips divers with the knowledge to plan and execute normoxic trimix dives, significantly enhancing their exploration potential.

Tenerife's underwater environment provides an excellent training ground for this advanced course. While specific visibility data isn't provided, the sea temperature averages around 21°C, offering comfortable conditions for technical diving activities throughout the year. The dive sites accessible from Ocean Dreams Tenerife are well-suited for practicing the complex procedures required for normoxic trimix diving, allowing students to apply their learning in a controlled yet realistic setting.

To enroll in the Normoxic Trimix 67m course, candidates must meet specific prerequisites, including a minimum age of 18 years and certification in Diver Stress & Rescue, TechXR Decompression Procedures, and Oxygen Provider. A minimum of 75 logged dives, with at least 10 involving decompression, is required. While not mandatory, specializations like Deep Diving, Navigation, or Cavern Diving are recommended, indicating a solid foundation in technical diving principles. This ensures all participants are adequately prepared for the demands of deep normoxic trimix exploration.
