I know that Bill Von Hoene teaches advanced trimix amongst a slew of other classes. He is located in the Pensacola area and teaches out of MBT Divers. his email is technical_diving@yahoo.com I have had his card in my office for about two years (so contact info may be old). The number on the card is (850) 974-6666, or you can contact MBT Divers www.mbtdivers.com and get in touch with him.

You can also check with Robert Neto Chipola Divers - Home he is a PADI, TDI, IANTD, and PSA International instructor that teaches Trimix as well.

Hope this helps

Thanks, Walter, but I don't teach off the O. Conditions are too volatile as far as getting out there and to complete the class it requires at least 2 trips out adding another $300-400 to the course fees, plus my charter fees split among the class since I'm not affiliated with any of the shops that go out there. Just doesn't make it worthwhile for me. A majority of the technical courses I teach are done in the caves. For the OW divers, we travel to a couple of inland sites that allow us the depth without worrying about cancellation because of 10 foot seas and allow us the 2-3 hour surface interval we need to do the 2 dives on the same day.

We will offer DSAT TriMix Course and will do as much of it on the O as you would like.
My Instructor is Blake Robinson and he is a no nonsence instructor.

Like Rob has stated It depends on the seas. What I prefer to do is do the final 2 dives on the O.
