GUE PRIMERS

Maximise your diving experience

Triox Primer

Diving in more challenging conditions than normal (cold water, with low visibility, greater depth, executing strenuous tasks …) increases the effects and risks of gas density such as gas narcosis.

Demanding dives call for a clear mind of the team members. That is why divers should consider the use of a helium-based gas such as Triox 30/30 in such conditions. GUE Triox Primer will tech you the use of Triox 30/30 as a GUE standard gas.
