Normoxic Trimix Course in Cyprus
6-day IANTD Normoxic Trimix course in Cyprus with 7 technical dives on Zenobia. Train to 60m or 75m with an instructor on rebreather support, small groups and full technical equipment included.
Train On The Zenobia Wreck
The location matters. This course is built around one of the Mediterranean's best real technical training environments.
Zenobia gives you real depth, real decompression profiles and a wreck environment that makes the course feel like actual technical diving rather than abstract skill practice.
Explore Zenobia DivingWho This Course Is For
This course is for already qualified technical divers who want to move from MOD 1 into helium-based 60m to 75m diving with real decompression discipline.
Technical Diver MOD 1 Required
You should already hold IANTD Technical Diver MOD 1, Advanced Nitrox or an equivalent technical prerequisite from another agency.
Built For Serious Progression
Ideal if you want to move beyond air deep diving and start planning helium-based dives with clearer thinking and more controlled decompression.
Twinset Or Sidemount
Choose the configuration you actually dive. Both backmount twinset and technical sidemount are supported during training.
Trimix-Capable Computer Needed
Bring a dive computer capable of Trimix and multi-gas decompression. We supply the core technical cylinders and regulators.
Logged Technical Experience Expected
This is not a first technical course. Be ready to share your recent logged deep or decompression dives when you enquire so we can confirm readiness for MOD 2.
Best Next Step If You Plan Full Trimix
MOD 2 is the natural bridge toward deeper Full Trimix training and advanced technical exploration.
What You Will Achieve
By the end of the course you should be able to plan, execute and review real multi-gas technical dives with much stronger control than MOD 1 alone provides.
Reduce Narcosis At Depth
Move away from narcosis-heavy deep diving and use helium to think more clearly on serious depth profiles.
Qualify To 60m Or 75m
Earn Normoxic Trimix to 60m or Normoxic+ to 75m depending on demonstrated performance, gas planning and in-water control.
Reach Zenobia's Deeper Routes Safely
Build the decompression and task-management discipline needed for the deeper sections of Zenobia rather than just reading about them.
Execute Complex Dives With Confidence
Run gas switches, staged decompression and team procedures without the hesitation that limits divers after MOD 1.
Plan Real Multi-Gas Profiles
Build dives with bottom mix, travel gas and decompression gases instead of relying on simplified deep-air planning.
Get Ready For Full Trimix
Use MOD 2 as the bridge into deeper Full Trimix training and more ambitious technical diving goals.
Why Technical Divers Choose GoToDive Cyprus
The course is stronger when the training environment, instructor setup and logistics all reduce friction at depth.
CCR Instructor — You Save On Helium
Your instructor dives on a rebreather, not open circuit. That means you never pay for the instructor's helium — gas costs cover only YOUR cylinders.
Zenobia As A Real Technical Classroom
Train on a wreck that naturally creates the kind of depth, structure and decompression profiles this certification is meant for.
Twinset Or Sidemount Support
Train in the configuration you actually dive, rather than being forced into a single setup that does not match your future dives.
Structured Multi-Gas Procedures
Learn repeatable planning, gas-switching and decompression procedures instead of collecting isolated drills.
Small Groups Only
Maximum two students per instructor to ensure precision, safety and individual attention at depth.
IANTD Recognition
Train toward a technical certification that is internationally recognised and understood by divers progressing deeper into helium-based diving.
6-Day Training Plan
The course is structured to move from planning and systems to increasingly demanding trimix dives rather than rushing straight to maximum depth.
Academics And Dive Planning
Trimix physics, gas selection, PPO2 limits, narcosis management, helium considerations and decompression planning software.
Equipment Setup And Skills
Configuration review, labelling, valve drills, regulator procedures, gas identification and pre-dive discipline for multi-gas dives.
Introductory Trimix Dives
Progress into initial helium-based profiles with emphasis on buoyancy, trim, team positioning and clean in-water execution.
Decompression And Gas Switching
Build confidence with deeper profiles, deco gas procedures, ascent control and managing actual decompression obligations.
Performance At Depth
Refine deeper dives on Zenobia with stronger situational control, clearer task management and emergency response discipline.
Qualification Dives And Debrief
Final performance-based dives determine whether you qualify at 60m Normoxic or progress to 75m Normoxic+ Trimix.
Why Train On The Zenobia
The Zenobia wreck near Larnaca is one of the best technical diving environments in the world — offering deep exterior routes, penetration sections, and consistent conditions for advanced training.
Deep Exterior Routes
The Zenobia's deep stern and keel sections are ideal for 50–60m Normoxic Trimix dives.
Real Decompression Profiles
Deep sections require proper deco planning — exactly the skills you build during this course.
Multi-Level Structure
The wreck spans 16–42m — perfect for combining deep technical sections with shallow deco stops.
Year-Round Visibility
Mediterranean clarity of 20–35m means you can see your team, practice procedures and navigate safely.
Calmer Supervision At Depth
An instructor with dedicated helium-saving support creates a quieter, more controlled environment during deeper training dives.
365 Diving Days
Cyprus offers consistent conditions year-round — plan your training without seasonal compromise.
Why Train Trimix In Cyprus
Zenobia matters, but Cyprus itself is part of the offer. The location makes technical training easier to schedule, easier to complete and easier to enjoy.
For many divers, the real selling point is not only the wreck. It is the combination of warm water, consistent visibility and a climate that lets you train seriously without spending the whole week fighting cold, current or unstable weather.
That matters on a technical course. When you are learning helium-based procedures, ascent control and staged decompression, stable conditions reduce noise and let you focus on execution instead of environmental stress.
- 20-35m Mediterranean visibility on many dives
- Long season and year-round technical diving potential
- Warmer water than most northern European training destinations
- Stable weather that helps you complete a 6-day training schedule
- Direct European flights that make course planning easier
- Zenobia access plus broader technical diving around Cyprus
Why Normoxic Trimix Is The Natural Step After MOD 1
This is the narrative bridge many technical divers need before they commit: why MOD 2 exists, what problem it solves and how it moves you toward deeper trimix diving.
MOD 1 teaches the foundations of decompression diving, equipment discipline and task control. But there is a point where deeper diving on air or narcosis-heavy gas stops feeling like useful progression and starts becoming a limitation. Normoxic Trimix exists for that moment. It gives you a structured way to replace that limitation with clearer thinking, more deliberate gas planning and a much more professional approach to depth.
That is why this course sits so naturally between Advanced Nitrox, Advanced Recreational Trimix and full trimix progression. It is not just another certification card. It is the stage where you stop improvising around narcosis and start learning how helium changes the way deep dives are planned, executed and reviewed.
On a page like this, Zenobia matters because it turns the transition into something concrete. You are not learning trimix in an abstract pool-to-quarry sequence. You are building the skills in an environment that rewards precise buoyancy, clean gas switches, deco discipline and calm decision making at depth.
For divers who already know they want Full Trimix next, MOD 2 is usually the cleanest route. It gives you the confidence to run more complex profiles, the experience to discuss your readiness honestly with an instructor and the foundation to step into deeper expedition-style technical diving with much less uncertainty.
What You Will Learn And Perform
This is practical technical training focused on repeatable execution, not only classroom theory.
Reduce Narcosis At Depth
Understand how helium changes depth management so you can think more clearly and make better decisions on serious dives.
Build Better Deep Dive Plans
Plan bottom mix, travel gas and decompression gases for 60m and 75m profiles using disciplined software-based planning.
Execute Complex Dives With Confidence
Carry, switch and manage multiple gas cylinders underwater with the kind of clean procedure deeper trimix diving demands.
Control Long Decompression Stops
Run multi-stop decompression, gas switches, ascent rates and in-water deco management without losing composure.
Configure Technical Equipment Properly
Use twinset or sidemount plus stage cylinders with proper rigging, labelling and pre-dive checks.
Handle Failures Without Panic
Practice shutdowns, valve drills and redundancy management so failures do not immediately become stressful at depth.
Switch Gases Cleanly
Perform regulator and gas-switch procedures at the planned depths with much more precision and consistency.
Dive As A Better Technical Teammate
Improve team awareness, communication, positioning and shared problem-solving during decompression dives.
Stay Calm In Emergencies
Run gas sharing, team-separation response and deco-obligation problem solving with more control under pressure.
Hold Better Trim At Depth
Maintain precise buoyancy and trim at 60-75m with a full technical equipment configuration.
Use Your Dive Computer Properly
Configure technical dive computers for trimix, custom mixes and multi-gas decompression instead of guessing settings.
Review Dives Like A Technical Diver
Analyse gas use, decompression performance and post-dive execution so each dive improves the next one.
Normoxic vs Normoxic+ Trimix
Both levels are trained within the same course. Your final certification depth depends on demonstrated performance and gas planning competency.
Normoxic Trimix — 60m
Oxygen fraction kept normoxic (≥18% O2). Helium replaces nitrogen to reduce narcosis. Depth limit 60m.
Normoxic+ Trimix — 75m
Lower O2 fraction with higher helium percentage. Extended depth range to 75m with advanced gas planning.
Same Course, Two Outcomes
You start with Normoxic procedures and progress to Normoxic+ based on demonstrated skills and dive profile.
Helium Percentage Difference
Normoxic uses 18–21% O2 with helium. Normoxic+ uses lower O2 and higher helium for greater depth.
Decompression Complexity
Normoxic+ profiles involve longer bottom times and more complex multi-stage decompression procedures.
IANTD Certifies Both
Both are separate IANTD certifications issued based on the maximum depth demonstrated during training.

MOD 2 is the gateway to deeper Full Trimix training and more demanding expedition-style technical dives.
Questions Before You Book
These are the questions most divers ask before committing to a Normoxic Trimix course in Cyprus.
What is Normoxic Trimix?
Normoxic Trimix is a helium-based breathing gas with an oxygen fraction of 18% or higher. Helium replaces nitrogen to significantly reduce narcosis at depth, allowing safer and clearer thinking at 40–60m.
What is the difference between Normoxic and Normoxic+ Trimix?
Normoxic Trimix certifies you to 60m with helium content designed to reduce narcosis. Normoxic+ Trimix uses a higher helium percentage and lower oxygen fraction, extending your depth range to 75m. Both are trained within the same course — your final certification depends on performance.
Why is helium not included in the price?
Helium cost varies depending on your gas mix, cylinder size and how many dives you complete at depth. We bill helium separately at actual cost so you pay exactly what you use — typically €30–80 per dive depending on the mix.
Why does the instructor dive on a rebreather?
It keeps the in-water environment calmer and avoids charging you for instructor helium consumption. Your gas bill covers only the cylinders you personally breathe from.
Can I train in sidemount instead of twinset?
Yes. Both backmount twinset and technical sidemount configurations are fully supported during Normoxic Trimix training. Let us know your preference when you register and we will prepare the right equipment and briefing for your setup.
How much logged diving experience should I have before booking?
You should already have meaningful logged deep or decompression diving experience before starting MOD 2. If you are unsure, send us your recent certifications, dive count and typical profiles and we will confirm whether you are ready.
What certification do I need before starting?
You need IANTD Technical Diver MOD 1 (Advanced Nitrox or Advanced Recreational Trimix) or equivalent from another agency. Contact us if you are certified with a different agency and we can assess your eligibility.
How many students are in the course?
Maximum two students per instructor. This is mandatory for deep technical training to ensure proper supervision, gas planning and safety at 60–75m.
Will I dive the Zenobia during the course?
Yes. The Zenobia wreck near Larnaca is used for deep technical training dives. Its structure, visibility and depth profile make it one of the best Trimix training environments in the Mediterranean.
What equipment do I need to bring?
Full technical equipment including twinset and stage cylinders is included. Bring your own wetsuit or drysuit, fins, mask, gloves and dive computer capable of running Trimix/multi-gas.
