Explorer Mixed Gas Diver (60m)
Explorer Mixed Gas Diver (60m)
BSAC’s Explorer Mixed Gas Diver (60m) course is a great way to extend your existing open-circuit mixed gas diving skills to 60m.
You will learn how to dive with a travel gas to optimise your breathing mix at all stages of the dive. The course complements the Sports Mixed Gas Diver (50m) course and students with suitable experience and skills can combine the two in one event.
I was looking for my next challenge, to dive 50-60m wrecks and be confident using trimix and travel gas to get to the sites I wanted to explore. This is a thorough course that equips you to do just that and has opened up some fantastic diving opportunities for me.
Explorer Mixed Gas Diver introduces a Sport Mixed Gas Diver (50m) to the use of a travel gas to support diving with normoxic trimix, and qualifies them to dive such mixes to depths of up to 60m using a twin-set and two stage cylinders.
To enrol on the Explorer Mixed Gas Diver Course you must be at least 18 years old and have already successfully completed a Sport Mixed Gas Diver (50m) course (or have equivalent certification from another recognised training agency).
You should be proficient at deeper diving, with 30 or more logged dives in the 30m to 50m range and have dived to 30m or deeper in the 4 weeks leading up to this course.
After completing Explorer Mixed Gas Diver (60m) and consolidating your skills, your options for deeper expedition diving significantly expands.
- You can develop your open-circuit deeper diving skills to 60m as an Advanced Mixed Gas Diver (80m).
- You can develop your diving skills further by learning how to be a Closed Circuit Rebreather Diver.
- You could develop specific skills to expand your diving interests further, including technical and logistical courses such as Compressor Operation and Mixed Gas Blender. Check out the Skill Development Courses (SDCs) you can get involved in.
