Thinking of becoming a gas blender or want to know more about gas blending? Then this book is for you. From the basic formulas for EANx blending, to Tri-Mix and Helair blending. 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 (helium that has oxygen mixed in it), 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 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.

Hey I wanted to let you know that I find the 'The Art of Gas Blending' and 'Dive Computers' books very interesting and useful. You answer a lot of questions that are not often covered in most literature.

Anton, keep up you passion for diving and keep doing it right. Best Wishes.

Hi Anton, I was looking for same new publications in order to refresh my people’s knowledge. We now use your Gas blending book and Gas Blender Program book for training.

I now understand gas blending. It's so easy with the book. Need to look up a formula, just flip to the corresponding page and see all the calculations. Excellently explained.
Nathan from Cayman
I have read 'Dive Computers' and 'The Art of Gas Blending' books and am impressed with the collection of information that you have put together.
Very nicely done. These are some seriously good reference materials. I am sure that I will read parts of both books over again to make sure that I am getting the full thrust of some of the material.
One of the things that I really like about your books is that you provide actual examples of the calculations rather than simply providing the formulas. That coupled with an explanation of what the results actually mean. I am always amused when people spend a lot of time calculating this and that (not just about diving), but they have no idea whether the numbers they are getting make sense.

Incredibly useful
This is a great book for divers interested in learning the theory and actual thought processes that go into blending breathing gasses. Anton has done a great job of breaking it down into simple step by step actions that produce the desired results in an easy to understand format.
This book would be fantastic in a classroom setting as it is written in a very friendly and easy to understand manner. It's equally valuable as a reference book and is particularly useful for divers looking to reinforce their technical knowledge. I've also suggested it to new divers that have expressed interest in learning more about breathing gasses beyond standard air fills.
This is a very useful read whether you plan to blend your own or just want to understand what's being done to your tanks. Highly recommended!
