minimum capacity of 142 cubic feet, a travel mix cylinder with a minimum
volume of 80 cubic feet and an oxygen clean decompression mix cylinder with a

cylinders are helpful, but not required. A Trimix computer and redundant bottom timer/depth gauges are required along

instructor will provide the use of Trimix analyzer.

recommended that you own all your own gear, like regulators, back plate, harness,
wings (or tech BCD), but tanks can be rented. Other required gear is a
reel with at least 200 feet of line, possibly a 50+ lb. lift bag, and a 7 foot
hose on one of your regulators.
