HYPOXIC TRIMIX TO 80 and 100 METRES… ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM
HYPOXIC TRIMIX represents the ultimate challenge and ultimate reward for a RAID OC technical diver. Our fourth-level technical / decompression diver course is equally suitable for twinset or sidemount divers ready to step up to the current limit of RAID’s diver training.
Hypoxic divers can carry as many as four stage cylinders with decompression gases, including a travel mix and 100% oxygen. The travel mix is required because managing oxygen toxicity at the target depths calls for backgas to contain less than 18 percent oxygen, which may not be breathed on the surface.
Available in two levels: 80 metres | 100 metres.
