Diving
A leading worldwide supplier of helium and other gases, Linde began supplying helium/oxygen breathing mixtures for offshore oil field diving over 40 years ago. Decades of experience, combined with a global diving gases supply and distribution network, are two key reasons why the commercial diving industry breathes easier with Linde. For pure helium or gas mixtures, in tube modules or in cylinder packs, Linde has the expertise and resources to provide a reliable supply for your dive operations, today and tomorrow.
Supplying the Demand
Diving operations rely on Linde for helium, helium/oxygen, oxygen and nitrogen/oxygen mixtures. We meet customers’ needs through a wide variety of supply systems that provide our quality gases and mixtures.Whatever gas or supply option you choose, your diving gases will be mixed to meet your specifications. Linde operates one of the world’s largest gas blenders at our Louisiana facility. This enhances the speed and accuracy of our gas-mixing operation and also provides supply gas mixtures on very short notice to offshore diving activity in the Gulf of Mexico and nearby locations.
Safety and Quality Commitment
The Linde diving gas group operates under strict safety standards. The accuracy and purity of our gas mixtures and the safety of the diving gases equipment are one of Linde’s priorities. This helps you assure that you receive a diving gas package containing the gas percentages you request every single time.
