IANTD Courses at Lochaline Dive Centre

CCR Trimix

The Trimix CCR Diver course will teach you how to plan and conduct trimix decompression dives on the Inspiration, Evolution or Ouroboros rebreathers.

This course will extend your level of rebreather diving skills, taking you as deep as you want to go.

During this course there will be a refresher of manual control of the unit and bailout scenarios from deeper depths and including bailout decompression. You will have to show good knowledge of the unit and it is important that you are confident in manually controlling your unit.
