Recreationall TRIMIX

[FreediveWI]

Narcosis is a tricky thing. I know in the past I have done air dives way past any normal limit and thought that I didn't "feel" narked and handled things ok because I managed to shoot off a whole roll of film while I was down there- and the pictures even turned out. Obviously I must have been blasted even if I didn't "feel" it.

What really sold me on triox was when I used it on the Willy- a simple little wreck that I must have close to 1,000 dives on. I now mostly freedive her so you wouldn't think that narcosis would be a problem. When I have dove her on triox I saw so many more details, especially inside the engine room, that I had never noticed on all of my previous dives- another area where triox could have a big advantage is in an overhead enviroment. It was close to being a whole new wreck. I certainly didn't go into deco on that dive and it could have easily been done on a single tank. Once you move a little deeper, to wrecks like the Wisconsin, it makes even a bigger difference.
