Hi All,
Whats your SOP for making repetitive dives after using trimix? It was explained to me that after a dive with TMx, all subsequent dives should include helium- Ie: no air/EANx dives after trimix.
Here is the rational for the question: Im planning to dive the Jupiter Helldiver this Friday- profile should be 185' for 20-30 on 20/25. The charter I will use consistently offers three tankers even on tec trips- not everyone on board will make a tec dive for the first drop. My practice is to sit out the second dive to get a nice long SI and dive the third drop of the day. Last dive of the day will be around 80-90'.
Ive done the above tec dive on air (I know, I know..) and single tank EANx for subsequent dives. Now that Ill be diving TMx, I am debating on using whatever I have left in my LP95s for the second dive, or blending a single tank with some lean trimix, say 32/15.
What would be your preferred option for the example given above?
thanks for the input
