As Hazel said I'm planning on doing an Adv Trimix course during this week.

The course will include;

- Team planning for deeper dives
- Expedition gas and logistics planning
- Decompression issues for 60-100m dives
- Diving with 3+ stage cylinders
- The use of scooters, lazy shots, deco trapezes, drop tanks, etc for deeper dives
- Using support divers

There will a couple of skills dives plus deeper dives building up to the final dives which will be between 70-80m (conditions dependent).

Pre-requisites are Entry Level Trimix or equivalent.

The cost is £500 plus gas.

Scapa is a fantastic place to do the course combining reliable conditions with some great dive sites. Doing it onboard Valkyrie also makes things much easier as all facilities for this type of diving are immediately to hand.

In addition doing the course in May sets you up for some good diving over the summer.
