Rec 3 – Trimix, Rec Deep

Recreational Diver Level 3 – Trimix, Recreational Deep

What

Mer on DecoThis course teaches students to plan and conduct dives on nitrox or helium mixtures to a max of 130ft (40m) using 32% nitrox, 30/30 triox, or 21/35 trimix. Conduct dives with a limited decompression obligation of 15 minutes or less by utilizing a staged decompression gas. Learn to the basics of double tank manifold failures troubleshooting and other contingency skills for decompression diving. This course is GUE’s version of deep diver.

Why

Enjoy the full recreational depth range using the right gases and procedures for ultimate dive enjoyment. Trimix allows the diver to have clear head at depth, facilitating safer and more memorable dives. Planned limited decompression permits being able to stay down long enough to thoroughly enjoy the entire recreational depth range. Divers with aspirations of diving deeper than 130ft (40m) should consider going direct to Tech 1. While Rec 3 is NOT a pre-requisite of Tech 1, some divers find it to be an ideal incremental step for those with aspirations of deeper diving. This course is an excellent penultimate class for the recreational diver!
