Guys is this actually true?
When i did my first certification on rebreather, i was told that i could do up to 15minutes of deco and use any trimix blend i wanted.
That was with IANTD.

For me that's true. IANTD Advanced EANx allowed me to dive to 42m with a maximum of 15 minutes accelerated decompresion (on EAN50) So in fact that was even more than a regular 15 minutes obligation.

ANDI sets the limits for mod1 back to 40m and NDL dives..... I've been struggling with the IANTD standard but I guess you're right about that limit not being reduced. In fact the line of thought behind it is a bit different alltogether.
An open circuit trimix certification remains valid on CCR (under certain conditions)...

The bottom line is I guess that it depends on the agency. And for the record I'm not promoting any agency over another. All I want to do is to become certified for the dives I want to do. So my target depth remains 45m on Normoxic trimix to get an end of some 25m. Whether IANTD, ANDI, TDI I don't care. Ultimately I beleive in instructors over agencies.
