Scuba Forum / General / April 2006Tri mix instruction?
I'd like to do the Doria before she's totally rubble. Is tri mix instruction pretty much a free for all, or is there an agency that's better than the others? I've got my nitrox from TDI and that seemed pretty fast and loose, but I'd also been diving with the instructor for about 5 years as his DM. Yeah, I've got a pretty good instructor lined up, but just curious about agencies.  Signaturedillon I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to become a vegetartian. > I'd like to do the Doria before she's totally rubble. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Yeah, I've got a pretty good instructor lined up, but just curious > about agencies. Agencies just issue C cards, stay focused on the instructor, make sure the instructor does dives at or beyond the level they are teaching outside of teaching dives. TDI has recently redone their trimix manuals, a big improvement over the old ones. IANTD is having some ownership issues moving back from Canada to Fl. But I guess what is the reason you are asking the question, is it standards based or are you looking for something in particular in the class.

If you're gonna choose by agency, GUE. > Yeah, I've got a pretty good instructor lined up, but just curious > about agencies. Then you've already decided. :-) Curtis "Magilla" wrote: >>I'd like to do the Doria before she's totally rubble. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > If you're gonna choose by agency, GUE.

Ask him what deco gases and what kind of deco tanks he's going to put you in. For any dive in the ocean, especially out at the Andrea Doria, the correct answer is EAN50 and O2 in aluminum 40's marked with MOD in great big numbers and both slung on the left side. Last time I looked, that was not to TDI or IANTD standards, but there are instructors who will teach it this way. >> I'd like to do the Doria before she's totally rubble. >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >that was not to TDI or IANTD standards, but there are instructors who >will teach it this way. Good question to ask. Thanks.

Most everything in diving is fast and loose, if you know where to go. You want to take things seriously? There's a control freak out there to oblige you. You just need to search to find him or her. > Most everything in diving is fast and loose, if you know where to go. You > want to take things seriously?
