TEC GAS BLENDER
Tec Gas Blender Course with Dive Force
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 PADI Gas Blender course comes in.
It can result in one of two certifications: PADI Gas Blender or PADI Trimix Blender. The PADI Trimix Blender is not currently available at Dive Force.
