Hypoxic Trimix Rebreather in Malta
The RAID Hypoxic Trimix Rebreather course represents a significant advancement in the training of rebreather divers, as it completes RAID's update of all its rebreather programs to conform to the latest industry standards, making them safer and more efficient. This program is considered the ultimate in recreational open water diving, where divers can explore the limits of technical diving.
The course is designed for experienced rebreather divers who have completed decompression dives in previous RAID courses. However, diving to depths of 100 meters (330 feet) on diluent gas with less than 18% oxygen requires meticulous planning and execution, as even a few extra minutes at depth can result in significantly longer ascent times.
The certification for this program is offered in two levels, depending on the environment and student preference. The Limited Hypoxic Trimix card is awarded when the course dives were to a maximum depth of 80 meters (262 feet), while Hypoxic Trimix certification is earned when course dives reach the full 100-meter (330 feet) limit. The program provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to dive safely and efficiently on a rebreather, using hypoxic trimix as a diluent gas at depths up to 100 meters.

Before working with Toby, I'd never dived. Now I confidently dive 40m wreck on nitrox. I owe that entirely to his teaching, encouragement and (in no small measure) his patience. Both in and out of the water, his instruction and professionalism dispelled any anxieties I had and ensured I felt safe throughout.
