Mixed Gases

TRIMIX, HELIOX, HELIAIR

Basically, what is...

Trimix

The term Trimix just means a gas mixture of three gases (tri = three); nowadays there is a considerable agreement that Trimix is understood as a mixture consisting of oxygen, helium and nitrogen. It is used in Technical Diving to reach greater depths. By extra Helium in breathing gas the amount of O² and N² will be adapted to acceptable values. The negative effects of oxygen and nitrogen (nitrogen narcosis, oxygen toxicity of the CNS and decompression sickness) are decreased by that.

Heliox

Heliox is a gas mixture consisting of helium and oxygen. The mix proportion is determined by the specific demands for the given dive. Remarkable advantages are the reduced narcotic potential and the decreased breathing resistance.

Heliair

The so-called heliair is handled as special case. Here normal atmospheric air is enriched by a given amount of helium. The noticeable advantage is the significantly more simple and therefore, cheaper mixing.
