Personally I have done the Mod3 trimix CCR course but it didn't teach me anything new that would help with this question. Im my mind any sort of bailout plan that involves using the CCR is unacceptable. Bailout plans for me are OC based. Anything else is semi Alpinist. I didn't need a CCR based training to let me figure out an OC decompression form X depth and then include a suitable travel gas to get from depth to deco mix.

Personally I think the fixed syllabus TDI trimix training for Mod3 is rubbish. There are instructors out there who are writing their own syllabus and in one case i am aware of he is writing a proper CCR based exam. Whilst these enhanced courses may be excellent (and i have signed up for something along these lines) it doesn't detract from what a shambles the existing set training program really is. No manual, no exam paper and little of benefit in the fixed syllabus.
