Gas Blender Instructor

Gas blending sits right at the technical end of diving, and properly qualified blenders are always in demand. The PADI Gas Blender Instructor course exists to help meet that need, training experienced tec professionals to teach others how to blend breathing gases safely and correctly rather than simply blend gas themselves.

As a Tec Gas Blender Instructor, you'll finish the course with a thorough understanding of the differences between the gases used in technical diving - how they behave, where the risks lie, and how blending errors can have serious consequences - and, crucially, the ability to explain that critical safety information clearly to the divers and blenders you go on to train. It's as much about instilling the right habits and respect for the process as it is about the chemistry itself.

Because this sits at the instructor level of the TecRec pathway, the entry requirements are correspondingly serious: you'll need to already hold PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certification, PADI Enriched Air Instructor certification, and PADI Tec Gas Blender certification before you can enrol.

For technical instructors looking to round out their qualifications, Gas Blender Instructor is a natural and valuable addition - it lets you support your tec students right through to the point where they're safely mixing their own gas, rather than having to send that side of their training elsewhere.
