PADI Tec Trimix 65 Course in Malta
Expand Your Depth Limit to 65 Meters Using Trimix
The PADI Tec Trimix 65 course takes your technical diving further by teaching you to safely explore depths down to 65 meters using trimix (helium, oxygen, nitrogen blends). This advanced course is specifically designed for certified PADI Tec 50 divers (or equivalent) who want to significantly extend their depth range and reduce narcosis during deep dives around Malta’s world-renowned wrecks and reefs.
What’s Involved in Your Course?
During your training, you’ll:
- Learn to confidently handle dives using multiple stage cylinders.
- Plan and execute at least five deep trimix dives, practising with various enriched air (EANx) and trimix blends.
- Utilize advanced decompression software to create precise custom dive tables.
- Conduct training dives as deep as 65 meters (210 feet), safely managing multi-stop decompression schedules.
We recommend allowing extra days for flexibility, as weather conditions in Malta can sometimes impact dive plans.
