Gas blending is an essential skill for dive professionals, technical divers, and dive shop operators. As the demand for enriched air nitrox (EANx) and mixed gases continues to grow, the need for skilled gas blenders becomes more apparent. At Oceans 5 Gili Air, divers have the opportunity to master the art and science of gas blending through the TDI Nitrox Blender Course and the TDI Advanced Gas Blender Course. These courses not only enhance a diver’s understanding of gas mixtures but also open up new career pathways in the diving industry.
In this comprehensive guide, we will explore what these courses entail, why they are important, and how Oceans 5 Gili Air provides the perfect training environment for those looking to specialize in gas blending.
Gas blenders play a crucial role in dive operations, ensuring that divers receive safe, correctly mixed gases for their dives. Whether it’s enriched air nitrox (EANx) or trimix, accurate blending requires precision, knowledge, and technical skill. A poorly blended gas mix can lead to serious safety issues, including oxygen toxicity or decompression sickness. This is why proper training and certification in gas blending are essential.
The TDI Nitrox Blender Course is designed for individuals who want to learn how to safely and accurately blend nitrox mixtures up to 40% oxygen. This course is ideal for dive professionals, shop technicians, and even recreational divers who want a deeper understanding of how their breathing gas is prepared.
The TDI Nitrox Blender Course consists of two primary components:
1. Theoretical Knowledge:
Gas analysis techniques and quality control measures
2. Practical Training:
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be certified as TDI Nitrox Blenders,allowing them to blend nitrox up to 40% oxygen and work in dive shops that provide enriched
air fills.
For those looking to go beyond nitrox blending, the TDI Advanced Gas Blender Course covers the blending of more complex gas mixtures, including helium-based blends like trimix. This course is essential for dive shops offering technical diving gases and for individuals pursuing trimix diving certification.
