Gas Blender

The PADI Gas Blender Course with AQUASUB SCUBA DIVING CENTRE

Being a gas blender is a key job at a busy PADI Dive Center or Resort. This course teaches you how to blend enriched air nitrox and helium-based gases using one or more blending methods.

Course Overview

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is the most popular diver specialty course and the number of technical divers is on the rise, which means that lots of scuba divers want enriched air and gas blends. The Tec Gas Blender course teaches you to blend enriched air nitrox and helium-blend gases using one or more blending methods. Being the blender is a key job at a busy PADI Dive Center or Resort and your work allows other divers to do what they love to do - scuba dive. 

If you're a PADI Enriched Air Diver and are at least 18 years old, you can enroll in a Tec Gas Blender course. 

Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply - ask your Tec Gas Blender Instructor.

Many shipwrecks are often found in deeper water. That’s why the PADI Deep Diver course is a natural companion to the PADI Wreck Diver course. Sometimes you can take these two specialties concurrently.
