Tec Trimix Diver

Description

Ready for the outer edge of technical diving? The Tec Trimix Diver course takes experienced tec divers and turns them into extreme divers who go deeper and visit pristine sites where few others will ever go. During the course, you'll make dives as deep as 90 metres/300 feet, but once you earn this tough certification, there are few limits.

Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply - ask your Tec Trimix Instructor.
