    Course Overview

    The ASSET Oxygen Service Technician & Gas Blender Course is a comprehensive, professional-level training programme designed for technicians who are responsible for oxygen-clean equipment and the blending of mixed breathing gases used in technical and extended-range diving.

    Developed to the same high standards as the ASSET Dive Industry Technician Course, this programme reflects engineering principles, gas industry best practice, and British and international standards. It is an essential qualification for anyone serious about blending gases for decompression diving, long-duration dives, or operations beyond recreational limits.

    This combined course brings together oxygen service competence and gas blending expertise into one structured, practical package — making it one of the most complete training options available anywhere in the dive industry.
