Course Overview

More people are diving with Enriched Air / Nitrox. This means that demand for Enriched Air / Nitrox fills is increasing and more people who are qualified to administer these fills are needed. The PADI Gas Blender course trains you as a qualified gas blender, allowing you to provide gas mixes to appropriately certified divers. It may result in one of two certifications: PADI Gas Blender or PADI Trimix Blender.

During the course, you will learn:

  • The physical properties of oxygen, its associated hazards, handling requirements and what cleaning equipment is necessary
  • The five methods of obtaining the desired Enriched Air / Nitrox mix
  • The methods used to obtain proper helium mixes
