Trimix 65
​
Description
If you’re into technical diving then you know that to extend your depth range you need to use trimix – a blend of helium, oxygen and nitrogen. The Tec Trimix 65 course introduces you to using trimix down to a maximum depth of 65 metres/210 feet. There are advantages to using three gases, but you need to know how to do it right. Earning the Tec Trimix 65 certification makes deeper exploration a reality.
You’re qualified to enroll in the Tec Trimix 65 course, if you:
-
Are a PADI Tec 50 diver
-
Have a minimum of 100 logged dives
-
Are at least 18 years old
-
Have a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months
Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply – ask your Tec Trimix Instructor

Analytical Industries TruMix 4001 Trimix Analyzer
The Analytical Industries TruMix 4001 Trimix Analyzer is a portable and easy-to-operate analyzer suitable for checking helium and oxygen gas mixtures in any environment. It has a large backlit LCD display that is easily read even in low light conditions, and which provides additional information such as a Maximum Operating Depth calculation. Patent pending algorithms provide an extremely accurate one-touch calibration. The helium value is zeroed when the oxygen is calibrated with air or 100% O2. During calibration, a third sensor compensates for temperature, barometric pressure and relative humidity, and the helium sensor corrects for differences in the thermal conductivity of O2 and N2. During analysis, the third sensor provides exceptional accuracy across the entire range of 0 to 100% for both oxygen and helium under a variety of conditions.
