Heres one for ya!

I'm IANTD trained with the meg (mod 1 - 140', max deco 10 minutes) but for me to go to trimix on a Rebreather through ANDI, I need TSD (Deco Procedures, OC). A step back in time as far as I'm concerned.

I agree bouyancy control is a must, diving with trimix. But hey, reverse O2 flush at 20', you better have good bouyancy for that!

Question 1: Does the CCR trimix course cover implications diving with Helium?

Question 2: Doesn't the CCR trimix course cover if you bailout to OC on trimix anyways?

Question 3: Why go back and dive with doubles to "Get The Card" then put on the CCR again to do "CCR Trimix"? Especially if it is Deco Procedures as the prerequiste and not trimix oc.

Doesn't make sense to me!

Do you hold any Tx cert now? If you do some instructors might give you a break on training as they don't need to spend the extra time on you.

Question 1 yes

Question 2 yes

Question 3 shouldn't have to.
