DSAT Tec Trimix Instructor
DSAT Tec Trimix Instructor

Tec Deep Instructors provide the most comprehensive technical instruction available. Tec Trimix divers explore the outer edges of technical deep diving. If you are both a Tec Deep Instructor and Tec Trimix Diver then the DSAT Tec Trimix Instructor trainer course is for you. The DSAT Trimix Diver Instructor course incorporates instructional philosophies and course goals that directly address the demanding and challenging nature of technical diving with helium gas mixes.

What can I do as a DSAT Trimix Instructor?

As a Tec Trimix Instructor you'll be one of the elite who can teach the Tec Trimix Diver course. During the course you'll learn how to teach diving at the cutting edge down to a depth of 75 metres/240 feet.

What do I need to start?

Have a minimum of 200 logged dives with at least 20 technical decompression dives requiring at least one stage/deco cylinder. Of these, at least 10 must have been made deeper than 40 metres/130 feet using trimix.
Be a DSAT Tec Deep Instructor, or have successfully completed the DSAT Tec Deep Instructor Training course including the instructor examinations
Be a renewed PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer or higher level PADI Instructor.
Be certified as a DSAT Trimix Diver or have a qualifying full trimix certification
Upon successful completion the candidate must meet the following criteria:

Have a minimum of 350 logged dives, with at least 50 decompression dives, 30 deeper than 40metres/130feet using trimix as the bottom gas, also at least 10 of these deeper than 50metres/165feet using trimix with less than 21 percent Oxygen.
Have assisted with at least one DSAT Trimix course.
Have successfully completed the Tec Trimix Instructor Standards Exam and Tec Trimix Instructor Theory and Practical Application Exam.
Be 21 years old

How long will it take?

The duration of the course depends on your previous experience, if you're already a Tec Trimix Diver, Trimix Instructor from another organization, or Trimix Diver from another organization. So it could last from a few days to a few weeks.

This course will prepare you to teach the DSAT Tec Trimix diver course, one of the highest instructional ratings in the PADI system of diver education and a much sought after and distinguished rating.  The Tec Trimix Instructor training course will review your understanding of the academic knowledge presented in both ‘Tec Trimix Diver’ course to 100% mastery and hone you’re teaching skills with technical academic teaching presentations and open water teaching presentations.  Our in house DSAT Trimix Instructor trainer will guide you through all the materials for the program and the standards and procedures for conducting the course.  As an Instructor candidate you will demonstrate role model performance of several training dives from the ‘Trimix diver’ course and complete practical applications under supervision to ensure total understanding of the subject matter of the trimix diver course and build upon your skills and knowledge as a Tec Deep Instructor.  The final part of the Instructor training course involves you evaluating peer students in training and passing an Instructor theory and standards exam.  The duration of the Trimix Instructor training course is approximately 6-7 days.
