Hello fellow ScubaBoarders,
I'm finally getting around to diving trimix. I'll be in sidemount. Going from the syllabus posted here: https://www.tdisdi.com/wp-content/u...idual/TDI Diver Standards_12_Trimix_Diver.pdf
what would people recommend to the following to have an exceptional class? I'll think about each suggestion and discuss with my instructor (class is July 21/22, just read the trimix manual, going to re-read AN/DP, then reread the trimix manual). Any tips/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kosta

1. Show good awareness of buddy and other team members through communications, proximity and team
oriented dive practices
2. Demonstrate competence managing 2 stage cylinders, either 2 deco gas or 1 deco and 1 extra bottom gas,
including drop and recovery while maintaining position in the water column
3. Demonstrate ability to confirm gas switches at depth with buddy/team members
4. Demonstrate lift bag deployment from depth and use of bag as back-up buoyancy device
5. Demonstrate air-sharing ascent from depth while one member of buddy team is without mask
6. Create contingency decompression schedule after simulated loss of decompression gas
7. Demonstrate controlled ascent with toxed diver including surface tow at least 30 metres / 100 feet with
equipment removal on surface, in water too deep to stand in
8. Complete a horizontal breath-hold swim at depth for 15 metres / 50 feet with mask off or blacked out
9. Properly execute the planned dive within all predetermined limits
10. Demonstrate the proper navigational techniques for the specific dive
11. On 2 of the dives, demonstrate an ascent with ascent reel and lift bag and perform staged decompression
12. Demonstrate the proper procedures for switching and isolating a malfunctioning primary regulator This
exercise should not be practiced deeper than 40 metres / 130 feet
