Trimix gas blend

[texdiveguy]

For those of you here on the board that dive trimix, which *catagory of mix do you dive most,,,and on 'average' how many trimix dives will you do in a typical year?

*
Hyperoxic, mix yielding a % of O2 in excess of 23%

Normoxic, mix of between 22 and 18%

Hypoxic, mix of between 17 and 10%

Anoxic, mix of 9% or less

This may be better suited in the technical diving forum.

I will eventually be persuing trimix myself, though. I can't wait, but I know I need much more training before I can get there, it CANNOT be rushed !

I thought the same thing,,,,but really saw no suitable sub catagory...so placed it here.

Some recreational divers are diving hyperoxic mix.

I got certified this year and I've been diving in the normoxic range. How about a poll?

So far, I have a 15 dives this year, and a few more scheduled later this month. Prior to this year, I did 5 dives.

That is true,,,infact unless you are engaged in diving for a payed job//research or military....the vast majority of us are in it for 'recreational' purposes.

How about a poll?

I failed SB Poll set-up 101 the other day....so opted to go this route in hopes folks might share just like you did...THANKS!

I was thinking about IANTD's Recreational Trixmix certification which is not "technical diving." But I agree Tex, that the seperation between the two is artificial.

For me, I am not "supposed" to dive Trimix, but I can dive to 180 feet on air. Very silly, IMO.

Very silly, indeed!
