RAID LIMITED TRIMIX CCR DIVER IN GOZO & MALTA
The RAID Limited Trimix Rebreather Diver is a specialised program designed for divers who wish to develop their skills in utilising a particular unit for diving with trimix diluent to 40m.
Normoxic Trimix diving involves using a gas mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium. The use of these gas blends allows divers to explore deeper depths than what is possible with traditional air or nitrox mixes. The addition of helium to the gas mix reduces the narcotic effect of the gas. Normoxic Trimix is an advanced technical program that requires a diver to have a high level of experience. Used for technical diving, deep diving, and cave diving, where you may need to spend extended periods at great depths, and safety margins are critical.

The RAID Normoxic Trimix Rebreather diver course is designed for those divers who are interested in exploring wrecks, deep caves, or other underwater environments that require extended bottom times at greater depths. If this is you, then Normoxic Trimix diving could be for you.

You must have logged a minimum of 50 hours using a CCR with at least 25 dives and 25 hours on the specific unit to be used on this course, and must show experience of a minimum of 20 dives deeper than 30 meters and at least 10 dives that required staged decompression.

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.
