Why DSAT Tec Trimix Diver Course?

For the extreme diver ready to further explore the world of technical deep diving, the gas of choice is trimix. The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course takes you to the outer edges of technical deep diving, opening the door to pristine dive sites few divers – if any – ever see.

What do I need to start?

Certified as a PADI Rescue Diver or have a qualifying certification in diver rescue and accident management from another organization. Students who meet this
through a qualifying non-PADI certification need to provide proof of CPR and
first aid training within the previous two years.

Certified as a DSAT Tec Deep Diver or have a qualifying certification in deep
decompression diving using air/enriched air from another organization.
Students who qualify through a qualifying certification other than DSAT
Tec Deep Diver must read the entire DSAT Tec Deep Diver Manual and
complete the Knowledge Reviews prior to beginning the Tec Trimix Diver course.

What will I do?

The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course is intended to extend the depth range available to technical divers trained and qualified to use air, enriched air and oxygen for technical decompression dives beyond 50 metres/165 feet in open water. The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course is intended for technical divers certified as DSAT Tec Deep Divers (or qualifying certification from another training organization). The course extends their depth range capabilities by training them in the use of trimix (helium, oxygen and nitrogen).


What will I need?

Tec Trimix Student Manual and the Tec Deep Diver Manual

The goals of the Trimix course are to train students to dive to 75 metres/245 feet using various trimix blends, enriched air and oxygen with open circuit scuba equipment.  The course builds upon the fundamentals of technical diving learned in the ‘Tec Deep’ course and further trains students in the planning, motor skills and emergency contingency procedures required for technical trimix diving.  This course is taught along our beautiful local reefs, north side walls and outer sea banks which give our students the widest variety of diving environments possible to prepare them for their future trimix dives.  Academic knowledge is developed by independent study of the student diver ‘Trimix’ manual and ‘Tec Deep’ manual where appropriate and application through briefings, practical sessions, dive planning and completed knowledge reviews and tests.  There is 1 water skills assessment dive and 8 open water training dives though for students with ‘DSAT Tec Deep’ certification the course can be completed with 6 open water training dives.  Prerequisites for the course include being certified as a DSAT Tec Deep diver, or equivalent certification from another organization, minimum age 18 years old with training in emergency rescue and 150 logged dives.  The course can be completed in 6 days.
