Overview of the Hypoxic Trimix Diver course

Dreaming of diving to the deepest depths where few have dared to venture? The SSI Hypoxic Trimix Diver course opens the door to extreme technical diving that will allow you to discover the secrets of the depths, reaching as deep as 100 meters! This advanced course prepares you to dive using hypoxic trimix mixtures, which contain less oxygen, allowing safe exploration at the greatest depths. Get ready to make the most of your technical diving skills. Use all the knowledge, skills, equipment and experience you have gained from your previous advanced diving training to embark on a journey to the depths of the ocean. Learn how to properly use at least three stage cylinders of travel and decompression gas in a dual set diving configuration. Using hypoxic trimix breathing gases, you will plan and conduct dives to a maximum depth of 100 meters.

Course Overview


1. Theory

Hypoxic Trimix Fundamentals: Understand the properties and uses of hypoxic trimix blends (with oxygen levels lower than 18%) necessary for ultra-deep dives to reduce oxygen toxicity risks.
Extreme Depth Planning: Learn to plan dives beyond 100 meters (330 feet), including multiple gas switches, extended bottom times and complex staged decompression stops. Use advanced dive planning software and tools tailored for ultra-deep diving.
Advanced Gas Management: Techniques for managing gas consumption across multiple cylinders, ensuring sufficient reserves for extended decompression dives. This includes planning for hypoxic gas blends and emergency scenarios.
Dive Physiology: Detailed understanding of the physiological effects of extreme depth, including managing hypoxia, narcosis and the risk of high-pressure nervous syndrome (HPNS). Learn strategies to mitigate these risks and ensure diver safety.
Advanced Decompression Theory: Study advanced decompression models and gradient factors specific to hypoxic trimix diving, with a focus on optimizing off-gassing and minimizing decompression stress at extreme depths.

2. Practical Skills

Equipment Configuration: Set up and use complex equipment systems required for hypoxic trimix diving, including multiple stage cylinders, advanced dive computers and redundant safety systems.
Gas Switching and Hypoxia Management: Master safe gas switching techniques at extreme depths, ensuring proper procedures to manage hypoxia and prevent oxygen toxicity.
Buoyancy and Trim Control: Perfect advanced buoyancy and trim control techniques essential for managing multiple cylinders and precise decompression stops in ultra-deep water.
Problem Management at Depth: Develop strategies for handling emergencies at extreme depths, including equipment failures, gas supply problems and diver rescue scenarios in deep-water environments.

3. Dives

Pool/confined water dive: down to 12 meters
Dives 1 and 2: to a maximum depth of 40 meters
Dives 3 and 4: to a maximum depth of 80 meters
Dives 5 and 6: to a maximum depth of 100 meters
