More people are diving with enriched air and this means the demand for enriched air fills is also increasing. However, there needs to be someone qualified to administer these fills to meet this demand. This is where the DSAT Gas Blender course comes in.

The DSAT Gas Blender course will train you as a qualified gas blender, allowing you to provide gas mixes to appropriately certified consumers. You'll learn the physical properties of oxygen, its associated hazards, handling requirements and what cleaning equipment is necessary. Finally, you will learn the five methods of obtaining the desired enriched air Nitrox mix and the various methods used to obtain proper helium mixes.

Prerequisites:
• PADI Enriched Air Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
• Minimum age: 18 years old

Materials:
• DSAT Gas Blender Manual
• Gas Mix Calculator
