Purpose
The PADI Tec Trimix 65 course is intended to extend the depth range of technical divers already trained and qualified to use air, enriched air and oxygen for technical decompression dives beyond 50 meters /165 feet
This course opens up the advantages of trimix to the diver, and divers are qualified to make multi-stop decompression dives that employ EANx and oxygen for accelerated decompression, and any trimix with an oxygen content of 18% or more.
They can dive to a maximum depth of 65 metres/210 feet.

Course overview
Plan and execute at least five dives using EANx and trimix blends • Use decompression software to create custom dive tables and dive plans • Make training dives as deep as 65 metres/210 feet
Use two or more cylinders of decompression gas with one up to 100 percent oxygen to add conservatism to the required decompression.
