TecDiveTools lists 1 dive centre teaching Trimix in Akumal, Mexico.

The count excludes recreational certifications by name, so a busy resort does not outrank a one-instructor cave operation on the volume of its reef trips. Separately, 0 have at least one instructor whose reviews we have read and summarised — a dive centre carries no synthesis of its own. How we read and count reviews.

About the course
Trimix is TDI's foundational mixed-gas course, teaching divers to plan and execute decompression dives using custom oxygen/helium/nitrogen breathing gas mixtures. This course bridges Extended Range and deeper technical diving, introducing divers to trimix theory, helium physiology, staged decompression on multiple gas mixes, and the procedures for managing hypoxic and normoxic blends. Graduates can conduct trimix dives to 60m/200ft with proper decompression support.
Students complete 4 decompression dives using trimix as bottom gas (100+ minutes accumulated bottom time; 2 dives must exceed 40m/130ft depth), demonstrating mastery of: trimix gas physics and physiology, decompression calculations on multiple gas mixes, proper equipment configuration, safe gas switches at depth, emergency ascent procedures, and staged decompression execution.
