Seeking Normoxic training in the UK

Dive Sprite · 28th August 2007, 11:54

Hi, I am looking for recommendations for an instructor that can provide Normoxic trimix training (mod2) for the Inspiration Vision in the UK (preferably south / central) this winter. My mod1 instructor is packing in training and starting a new business.
If you have had good experience with an instructor and can make a recommendation please pm me or reply here. Many thanks.

I did Mod 1 with Rich Stevenson - can highly recommend him and he would be high on my list for a mix course. From what I've heard (both here and from buddies), Dave Cooper (decodiver on here), Dave Thompson (dave_t on here) and the chaps at M R Diving are all very good too.

HTH, good luck and have fun,

Another Vote for Mr Diving (Matt Robinson). I did a normoxic course with him a few months back & will be back down later to go to full mix. He does PSAI so normoxic to full mix is not a 2nd course only an add on so helps keep the cost down. That said if you have prev o/c trimix exp then I would go to full mix from day one.

I would give my vote for Rich Stevenson, unlike a lot of instuctors he tries weather permiting to finish his courses in the sea, so that you get to experience real world conditions under his all seeing eye.

That was one of the reasons I chose him for Mod 1.
