Service Technician Training
IANTD Service Technician training is represented in the current IANTD catalog as Life Support Systems Service Technician. The official individual page describes the program as training competent personnel in safe preparation and maintenance of scuba life-support systems used with breathing gases other than air. It includes service, maintenance, and visual inspection procedures, so the focus is not diver performance underwater; it is careful technical support for the equipment and gas systems divers depend on.
This course is suited to qualified technicians, facility staff, and experienced support personnel who need formal training around oxygen-compatible service and maintenance. IANTD lists EANx Blender or equivalent, recommendation by an IANTD instructor or facility, manufacturer technician status or IAST qualification, and a minimum age requirement. Students should already understand that equipment servicing is a responsibility-heavy role where shortcuts, dirty work practices, or weak documentation can create real risk.
Training includes academic sessions and technician working sessions using suitable tools and maintenance equipment. In High Springs, Florida, this course supports nitrox, trimix, rebreather, cave, and technical training by helping the local dive operation maintain safer life-support systems. The expected outcome is a more disciplined technician who understands oxygen-compatible preparation, visual inspection workflow, maintenance limits, and when manufacturer-specific service authority is required.
