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.

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

The Tec Gas Blender course includes three practical application sessions, but no dives. During independent study and instructor-led review, you learn:

• About the advantages and disadvantages of different blending methodologies.
• To blend enriched air and trimix blends to within one percent of the target mix.
• About the potential hazards related to handling oxygen, and how to manage those risks.
• To demonstrate the steps for oxygen cleaning equipment, along with the requirements for oxygen service.
