NAUI Gas Blender and O2 Service Technician

Every diver knows that life begins with learning how to use compressed air to scuba dive beneath the surface. But all that changed when NAUI approved the use of Enriched Air Nitrox and later the use of helium-based mixes, each for a specific diving application. As the popularity of mixed gas diving has increased, the diving profession kept paced by training professional gas blenders capable to providing the gases divers are using today.

NAUI offers training programs for divers and dive industry personnel who need to prepare these gases locally. NAUI offers two distinct programs for gas blenders:

Nitrox Gas Blender and Oxygen Service Technician

This course is designed to provide the student with the skills and knowledge needed to safely handle high pressure gases, prepare enriched air (nitrox) gas mixes and prepare equipment for oxygen service.

Mixed Gas Blender and Oxygen Service Technician

This course contains similar content to the Nitrox Gas Blender program but includes the additional skill of handling and preparing helium-based mixed gases.

NAUI OVERHEAD ENVIRONMENTS

NAUI OVERHEAD ENVIRONMENTS

Overhead Environments

Divers love to explore and while most divers are content to confine their diving to the open water, allowing direct access to the surface at all times, others love the thrill of discovering new places far from the surface. Undersea caves, abandoned mines, under the ice and inside shipwrecks are all popular destinations for these intrepid explorers who go beyond the bounds of recreational diving.

If this type of exploration appeals to you, then NAUI training programs for overhead environments is for you! Take a look at the list of NAUI programs and contact your local NAUI Instructor for additional information.
