Course Description
The SSI XR Gas Blender course is the technical side of the centre's extended range offering — teaching the skills and theory required to safely mix nitrox and helium-based trimix gases. It's a non-diving programme, meaning it's conducted without in-water sessions and focuses on the mathematics, physics and practical techniques of gas mixing.
The course is open to both certified and non-certified divers, making it accessible to people on the technical support side of diving operations as well as experienced divers who want to understand what goes into the gases they breathe.
CS Diving Center's filling station, operational since the centre opened in 2011, provides the practical context for this qualification.
