Cave/Wreck and OC trimix/rebreather trimix

[Meng_Tze]

None of these are taught in MOD 1 or OC trimix and these are some that come to mind. Yeah you could probably figure them out but training is all about eliminating guesswork and ensuring you have covered every aspect of the type of diving discipline you are engaged in.

If at that level one is basing the dive planning on guess work, I would imagine the training/insight would be seriously lacking. In all seriousness, if you think about your OC trimix training you can apply it to CCR trimix diving. The only thing really to bear in mind is that instead of planning based on Fo2, you plan on Po2 (in case of CCR) and have to make that translation for all gas switches. All other planning is based on having enough gas.......................I am simplifying, but you get the jest.

Courses overlap for good reason... it's a basis of adult learning that you review learned material multiple times in order to ensure it is embedded.

That said, any instructor worth their salt will tailor the class to the student(s). If you have a strength that doesn't require review, then they can move quickly over that part of the course.

Gas planning is no joking matter!
