FAQ
Oxygen service refers to preparing equipment for safe use with:
- Enriched air nitrox
- Oxygen-rich gases
- Technical diving gas systems
This requires strict contamination control and oxygen-compatible materials.
You will learn to oxygen-service:
- Regulators
- Cylinder valves
- Manifolds
- Technical gas system components
No. This is a technical workshop and equipment servicing program with no in-water training.
You must successfully:
- Service a regulator for oxygen use
- Service a cylinder valve
You are qualified to prepare and service regulators, cylinders, valves, and manifolds for oxygen-compatible use with enriched air and technical diving gases, within your certification and manufacturer limits.
