CCR Trimix on an Air Dil Cert

Chris · 19th April 2006, 02:02

OK fellas just putting together a poll for a special reason that came about over too much red wine last night.

Please vote in the poll in the manner following, even if you just put a squirt of He in your Dil to take the edge off from time to time please count that as using Trimix.

You're right though, I'm too tired of having to fight the system every time I want to go for a dive....

You need to add a few more options to the poll for it to be representative.

- I dive CCR without any CCR cert
-I dive normoxic trimix dil without any CCR cert
- I dive hypoxic trimix dil without any CCR cert.
-I dive dil gases that have no certification available.

Brent.

ones just for me

You talking about the present, or in the past, Chris?

I just rememebr those Camp Cove night dives on 12/50, reaching a whopping 6m!

Hi Brent
I am not intersted in people that dive with no cert at all, it is outside the scope of what I am trying to achieve.

All I am keen on is people certified on their CCR for Air Dil and if they at anytime add He to the Dil.

Cheers
Chris

I added helium while on mod 1 certification because I nark badly and at 38m on air I can be too slow to fix problems succinctly. I did view sticking to the no-deco limit as staying within the intentions of the restriction.

I now have mod2 and, OK, I have put a hypoxic mix in it when I've been at 60m as I can see a DIL flush being a problem. I'd like to do mod3 some time but my seasickness problem means that I miss a percentage of dives on any trip so there are problems planning here. It's not that I want to go deep but I gather there are some good get-out-of-jail-free skills to learn.

IANTD's basic Rebreather cert allows one to use normoxic mix as their dil if they are OC certified on mix. I currently fall in this category...and yes, I use He in my dil.

View Poll Results: You have only an Air Dil CCR Cert, do you use He in your Dil?
I have an Air Dil Cert and use only Air Dil	25	15.63%
I have an Air Dil Cert but use Normoxic Trimix (greater than 16% O2 in the Dil)	38	23.75%
I have only an Air Dil Cert but use a Hypoxic Trimix (Less than 16% O2) in the Dil	43	26.88%
I have a Trimix CCR Cert	54	33.75%
Voters: 160. You may not vote on this poll
