TDI Gas Blender

Having started down the road of TEC diving I thought it would be better if I knew how to mix the DEVIL GAS myself. I booked myself both the TDI GAs Blender and Advanced Gas Blender courses at Wraysbury. The Gas blender was the first course which gets you mixing nitrox blends upto 40% however with the simple formula's you can mix anything upto 100%.

AS Wraysbury has a HASKEL pump they can get the most from there O2 cylinders which makes blending more fun. There approach is more old school none of these modern mixing panels that do it for you. There your the one watching and controlling the dials to blend the gas.

Well I mixed around 6 different mixes, and it amazes me still that giving it a simple shake can make all the difference, all of my mixes were within the 1% allowed.
