Hi All,
I'm pretty close to taking my next course. Currently I have Adv Nitrox and Deco procedures. So I'm looking to do extended range and combining that with a trimix course.
My instructor said that entry level trimix and adv trimix are pretty similar courses. From my understand you can actually skip entry level trimix and move on to doing adv trimix. So my question is this, is it actually worth doing entry level trimix? Should I just skip it and go straight to advance trimix?
My concern is this. Entry level takes you to 60m, advanced to 100m. If the biggest difference between the 2 courses is learning the theory behind using mixes that allow you to dive to 100m then it might make sense to skip entry level. But if the advance course means your going to be doing dives to 80+ meters, then I'm thinking maybe the jump is to big.
Obviously the adv course means I would be taking more stages, then entry level. Dealing with that is something I figure I could practice beforehand.
Anyone here have any experiences with skipping entry level and going straight to advanced?
Your thoughts?
Cheers
Alex
