Recreationall TRIMIX

[FreediveWI]

I just read on another list that IANTD is finally coming out with a recreational, no deco diving, trimix course. I imagine that this is to try and compete with the one that GUE has had out for some time.

It uses a 30/30 mix on dives down to 130'. This gives you the benfits on nitrox and helium- longer dives and a clear head.

30/30 is also a nice gas for cold water because you can tune your regualtors down so they don't freeflow on ice dives but you never notice the difference- acutally they breath better because of the size of the gas molocule. ;D

Now how long will it take for TDI and PADI to catch up on that one.

BTW: IANTD also offers freediving courses which no one else will touch yet. PADI could, if they wanted to, since they have just hired Mandy-Rae Cruickshank to work at their world headquarters, but the last time I talked to someone there they had no interest.
