I'm currently reading DIR: Fundamentals of better diving and just wanted to get clarification on the definitions of the 3 gas mixes. (page 132 if anyone is wondering).
1. Triox - A helium based gas with 21% or greater oxygen content.
2. Trimix - Any combination of helium, oxygen and nitrogen
3. Heliox - Any combination of helium and oxygen.
-Is triox a version of heliox with a minimum o2 content restriction, or is there another inert gas added?
I'd appreciate any practical examples of the different uses of the terms.
