Optional 5th Day
Trilogy has added In-Water Recompression Treatment (IWR) as an optional 5th day of training. Students will have learned the academic knowledge and patient assessment skills necessary for IWR during the four day course. This one day module will review IWR Treatment Tables, required equipment, and practical training deploying equipment in a controlled setting (pool).

This is a great training for those involved in remote medicine, expedition diving, and dive teams operating in remote areas.
