CCR Cave and CCR Trimix Crossover Training

gottrimix · 1st December 2007, 00:48

Just finished up two weeks in cave country doing some CCR crossover training with Tom Mount. I would highly recommend Tom for any of your training needs. Very thorough teacher and he brings decades of experience to draw from. Really makes you think about the "Survival" importance of diving and makes you understand all of your options while diving CCR in caves. I also was introduced to several techniques to mentally stay focused on dives and the importance of visualizing your dive each and every time. I think I learned as much out of the water as in it just listening to Tom talk about all the things that he has experienced over the years while diving. He is a genuine good guy that always takes time to make sure you understand what he is teaching.

If you ever get the chance to do some training or diving with Tom, you will be a much better diver for it.!!

I am doing my cave course with Mat in Mexico an looking forward to it immensely. However if i decide i like caves and go to Florida I have already decided to do a sort of "intro to Florida caves type course" with Tom.

Having read about him since i got into diving with more than a single 12 on my back It seem a bit weird contemplating meeting the bloke to be honest but I am sure it would be fascinating.
