What the course entails:
The TDI Advanced Blender Course course consists of academics, and a practical hands on session at the Dayo Scuba fill station.

How we teach it:
There are two parts, the academics and the hands on training.

Academics

The academics are done mostly at home from your TDI Advanced Blender study guide. This guide is very well structured, a very informative learning tool, and an excellent alternative to multiple day or evening lectures. Some topics covered are:

* Responsibilities of the Gas Blender.

* Gases used in Scuba Diving

* Oxygen Handling

* Gas Production Equipment

* Mixing Techniques

* Oxygen Analysis

* Helium Analysis

When you meet with your Instructor he/she will review the academics and you will complete a written test. You need to achieve at least 80% on your written test to pass.


Hands on Training
In order to complete this course, students must:

* Candidates must successfully blend and analyze a minimum of 5 Nitrox cylinders and 3 Trimix cylinders.
* Satisfactorily complete the TDI Advanced Gas Blender written examination.
* Demonstrate proficiency in blending and analysis of Nitrox and Trimix gases.


It should be noted that participation in the Advanced Blender training does not guarantee certification. Each student must do the required number of skills and demonstrate that they are comfortable with blending and analyzing a range of scuba gasses before they receive their certification card.

After successful completion of your academics and work shop training, you will be awarded your certification as an Advanced Blender.

Age requirements:
You must be at least 18 years old to receive an Advanced Blender certification, there is no maximum age.

Minimum number of students per class:
We need 2 or more people to make an Advanced Blender class; private, one-on-one classes can be organized for a separate fee.

How many people are in each class?
Our Advanced Blender classes range in size, from 1-4 students.

Schedule/Timing for Advanced Blender Courses:
We train all the time, and have multiple instructors on staff, many full time, so we do weekday and weekend classes.
