Ready to take the next step and expand your knowledge of decompression theory? With Helitrox you will learn to utilize helium in the breathing gas to reduce gas density, reduce the buildup of CO2, and minimize the effects of nitrogen narcosis.
Course Prerequisites
Students are evaluated for participation in technical courses on a case-by-case basis. Not all divers are the same, nor are all certifications. Just because you have the requisite certifications doesn’t qualify you for participation. The majority of our students are local divers who have taken recreational and/or our Intro to Tech class, however we also take students who are traveling from out of state. We will do our best to tailor a training plan that offers you the greatest level of success. Typically, Helitrox is taught as an add-on to the Adv. Nitrox & Deco Procedures sequence. Having experience in technical diving is a must for adequately taking advantage of the benefit of helium.
