1. I see value in deep air training as part of a trimix class
2. I do not see any value in deep air training as part of a trimix class
3. I have no opinion.
So I was roaming around the internet the other day, bored, and came acrossed a website advert for normoxic trimix training. The description of the course is what got me thinking. It stated that after skills and drills they would be doing several deep air dives in the 180fsw range prior to conducting the trimix dives. The description went on to say that there were valuble lessons to be learned on these deep air dives.
I found this to be very curious. I do not dive deep air. People do. What was the lesson to be learned? I do not see the value in deep air as part of a mix class. Your threshhold for narcosis should have been addressed in a much earlier class, or during adv/nitrox-deco proc. what say you?
