IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix CCR Training – Houston
Take the "Nark" out of Deep Diving with the P2 & Gemini
Ready to explore deeper while maintaining total mental clarity? The IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix (ART)course is the ultimate "bridge" for rebreather divers. By introducing Helium into your breathing loop, you significantly reduce nitrogen narcosis, allowing you to safely explore depths up to 150 fsw (45 msw) with a clear head.
At Gulf Coast Scuba, we specialize in this course specifically for the Hollis Prism 2 (P2) and the Fathom Gemini.
Why Dive Advanced Recreational Trimix on CCR?
Traditional deep diving on air or nitrox can leave you feeling "fuzzy" due to narcosis. ART changes the game:
-
Mental Clarity: Helium reduces the narcotic effect, making you a safer, more aware diver at depth.
-
Light Decompression: Learn the fundamentals of managing up to 15 minutes of decompression using advanced gas planning.
-
Efficiency: Perfect your skills on the P2 or Gemini, leveraging the gas-extending benefits of your rebreather for longer, clearer dives.
