Thinking Of Becoming A Gas Blender Or Just Want To Know More About Gas Blending?
Looking for easy to understand explanations of the formulas used in gas blending? Want to learn how to calculate CCR loop gasses at any depth? Want to be able to save gas by topping up old mixes to a new blend? Want to blend to minimize nitrogen narcosis? Just interested in how diving gasses are blended? Read on...
Gas blending is like making fudge. One day all goes right, the next day you end up with toffee. Knowing some tips and tricks to save a blend can come in very handy. Many books are not easy to understand when it comes to explaining the formulas behind gas blending. And some leave out formulas such as calculating CCR loop volume, blending with impure helium, changing mixes, working out END while taking both helium and O2 into account, and more.
As a diver, by understanding how a blend will change when it is topped off with air or another gas, can allow you to plan your diving better and reuse gasses for other dives instead of it being drained down and wasted. This can save you a lot of money, especially if you dive Tri-Mix.
Anton Swanepoel has been a diving instructor for over 12 years, and holds a tri-mix instructor rating. He has worked in the Cayman Islands for 7 years as a technical diving instructor and has dove to depths of over 400 feet. He is both an OC and CCR Tri-mix diver and Tri-mix gas blender instructor. Having taught many students and other instructors in the art of gas blending, he has penned this book to help you grasp the blending formulas, as well as tips he has learned over the years on blending gasses.Inside The Art of Gas Blending You Will Discover How To Blend:<ul>
<li>Enriched Air</li>
<li>Tri-Mix</li>
<li>Heliox</li>
<li>Helair</li>
</ul>
Formulas and examples are given on how to change a blend, blending with impure helium (helium that has oxygen mixed in it), as well as using banked mixes. Additional included are formulas on working out the actual breathing mix in a rebreather loop at any depth at any PPO2. As well as what would be the appropriate mix to bailout to at any depth on a CCR. Working out narcosis while taking into account nitrogen, O2 and helium is also covered.Bonus Included. Charts For:<ul>

Want to know the training needed to get certified to dive below 130, 200, 330ft? This book looks at the different training available to get you certified to dive to the depth that you want to go to.
What else can I get out of this book? This book gives an overview of some of the effects of diving on the human body, especially long duration and deep diving. The topics covered will give you a broad overview for each one covered, and is a good starting point to broaden your knowledge of deep diving.
What topics are covered? • Why people do deep dives • Training needed to dive deeper than 130 feet safely • The mental shift needed to transform from a recreational diver to a survival diver • Handling unforeseen events underwater when you cannot surface immediately • BCD-breathing • Swapping regulators underwater • Caffeine and diving • Smoking and diving • Sugar and diving • Fatty foods and diving • Certain medication and diving • Breast implants and diving • Diving while breast feeding • Effects of oxygen to the brain and body • Isobaric counter diffusion decompression sickness with example calculations to help you understand it on a high level • Depth records • Rebreathers compared to open circuit • Women and diving • Men and diving • Supplements for deep diving • Breathing exercises for deep diving • Common mistakes made in deep diving that can kill you • Handling missed decompression • IWR (in-water recompression) • Liquid breathing • Effects of diving on the body, both long and short term
Will I be able to dive to 400ft after reading this book? No. You need hands on training from a qualified instructor to be able to dive below 130ft. This book is also not a training manual for deep diving, but a book that looks at a high level at some of the issues and effects of deep diving. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to handle unforeseen problems and come back alive. To change your diving safely, you will have to change your thinking.
Something to think about. Deep diving is an equipment and knowledge intensive sport, that carry greater risk than shallow sports diving. Deep diving is also an expensive sport, and training can run in the thousands of dollars when reaching the Tri-Mix diver level or below. The deeper you go, the higher the risk for things to go wrong. Correct training for deep diving gives you skills to handle a great deal of problems. However, no training can prepare you for every possible thing that can happen. An open mind and new ideas combined with training can save you when it all goes pear shaped.
If even just one tip or one idea in this book one day helps to save your life when things go wrong deep down, would it have been worth getting this book?
