Academics

The academics are done mostly at home from your TDI Nitrox 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

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.
