SUB BASIC TRIMIX DIVER
S.U.B. Basic Trimix Diver is a technical diving course within the S.U.B. Technical program that allows divers to go beyond recreational depth limits and conduct planned decompression dives. The course builds on the core skills developed in programs such as S.U.B. Tec Fundamentals.
During the program, divers learn advanced dive planning, gas management, team procedures, and decompression strategies while using twinset or sidemount configurations together with stage or decompression cylinders. The course focuses on precise buoyancy control, team communication, and the safe execution of staged decompression dives.
By the end of the course, divers are trained to safely plan and conduct decompression dives with multiple cylinders while following standardized technical diving procedures. S.U.B. Basic Trimix Diver is a key step for divers progressing further into advanced technical diving and deeper trimix programs.
