Technical
Training
Ultimate Scuba offers two types of scuba technical training:
Nitrox and Gas Blending
The PADI Enriched Air Course (Nitrox)
Diving
with
enriched air nitrox lets you safely extend your no stop time beyond the
no decompression limits for air. Diving with enriched air means more
time underwater – but you need to be certified as an Enriched Air
Diver to get enriched air fills. This is PADI’s most popular
specialty course. Whether
you’re into underwater photography or wreck diving, on vacation
in some tropical paradise or just out for a leisurely day of diving at
your local dive site, the PADI Enriched Air Diver course helps you get
more out of diving by giving you more time underwater.
- Must be a PADI Open Water Diver (or
qualifying certification from another organization).
- Learn to analyze cylinder contents.
- Plan enriched air dives using tables and
dive computers.
- Safely increase your no stop time.
- Certification counts toward the Master
Scuba Diver rating
Course Costs: $150.00
Gas Blending
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. It can result in one of
two certifications: DSAT Gas Blender or DSAT Trimix Blender.
What
do I need to start?
- PADI Enriched Air Diver certification (or
qualifying certification from another organization)
- Minimum age: 18 years old
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.
