Gas blender course
aim
At the end of the course, the diver should be able to safely and accurately produce all common gas mixtures (Nitrox, Trimix, HeliAir, Heliox, Argox) in any composition.
He is made familiar with the particular dangers of handling pure oxygen and receives instruction in the legal provisions for transporting gas cylinders in motor vehicles.
precondition
- Minimum age 19 years
- EOBV Nitrox diver or equivalent training
- or filling station operator
limits of the course
Production of all gas mixtures from the gases:
- oxygen
- nitrogen
- helium
- argon
