Hi,
Yes, you need DIR Fundamentals as a prerequisite of the TriOx class. This is because the themes from DIRF are continued in the TriOx class, and you need to have the stable platform, fin kicks, plus the GUE buddy awareness and team diving approach tuned in in order to fully benefit from the course content. For example, I am a PADI instructor and still needed to go through DIRF in order to fully appreciate the GUE approach to diving. Im glad I did though, as it improved my diving tenfold.
Even if you have TriMix certs from other agencies, I would still recommend DIRF then TriOx as there are plentyof discussions and approaches in both courses that will change the way you think and dive.
