Good evening,
I’m considering a Trimix course with the operators I’ve done my Extended Range course with. I’m however slightly uncomfortable with the fact that very few times they dive Trimix. They’re very competent people, and do a lot of Nitrox and CCR Tec diving, but still.
(1) What should be the basics I should consider, as a total rookie, in order to make an assessment of how safe am I going the Trimix way with them? I’m reasonably familiar with gas chemistry, so please don’t be afraid to shoot your technical stuff at me.
(2) Would it be an overkill to buy my own helium / oxygen analyzer to be sure that I can check on things with properly calibrated equipment, or would I need some specific training for that?
Thanks a million for help.
