This is the first book in the diving series, followed by Dive Computers, Deep and Safety Stops, Including Ascent Rate and Gradient Factors, and Diving Below 130 Feet.

This is an excellent must have book for any gas blender, Technical diver or person interested in technical diving. Whether you intend to blend gas or not. Even people that are already gas blenders will find great value from the tips and advice in this book. Alternatively, a new way of explaining things might just be what is needed to help you understand how gas blending works.

The book starts off with an explanation and look at the gasses you will use for deep diving and decompression such as Enriched Air, Tri-Mix, Heliox, Helair, in addition to looking at narcosis, CO2 and CO poisoning and ICDS.

Gas blending is covered, with examples from the basic formulas for enriched air blending to Tri-Mix and Helair that includes topping off a mix, changing a blend, blending with impure helium , to formulas on working out the actual breathing mix in a rebreather loop at any depth at any PPO2, to what would be the appropriate mix to bailout to at any depth.

As a diver, by understanding how a blend will change when it is topped of 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.
In addition is included charts for filling: Nitrox Mixes for

22 to 50% in 1% increments, 50 to 95% in 5% increments.
