Helox is more expensive from memory trimix is easier and cheaper to mix
I may however have it wrong![]()

From my understanding, Heliox is Helium & Oxygen, trimix is Helium Oxygen and Nitrogen.
Heliox can be more expensive, its the He that costs so it depends on the comparable ratios in the two mixes.
Im rec trimix so havn't delved into heliox usage (if indeed it is a no nitrogen mix), but im suspecting you would have to be fu**ing deep to opt to remove all of the nitrogen, or loaded??

You have got to love wikipedia:
Some argue that an argox blend with oxygen content similar to that of air could be used as a suit inflation gas in place of pure argon, as such a blend would only have a slightly higher thermal conductivity than pure argon, and unlike pure argon, would be breathable in an emergency.
Who came up with that?![]()
don't forget heliair......Your cylinders won't need O2 cleaning either![]()
