PADI Tec

Technical Diving training courses will challenge you in new ways and train you to do deal with things under water that you may not have ever thought possible but the end result will be decompression diving  giving you the opportunity to explore dive sites that recreational scuba cannot reach, you will learn about a lot of new equipment and how to deal with a wide variety of problems underwater when the surface could be
60 metres away in depth or more than an hour in
time due to your decompression requirements.

Discover Tec Diving Experience

DSAT Discover Tec lets you try technical diving equipment and procedures.

What You'll Learn

You learn about technical diving and get to try it out. Plus, Discover Tec experiences can also credit towards the Tec 40 course.

The Scuba Gear You'll Use

You will need your basic scuba gear and you will try technical scuba diving equipment.

Prerequisites

To participate in Discover Tec Diving, you must:

• Be a PADI Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organization)
• Have a minimum of 10 logged dives/
• Be at least 18 years old

Tec 40 Course

If you're interested in technical diving, but haven't yet met the prerequisites for the PADI Tec 50 Diver course or PADI Tec 45 course, you can consider enrolling in the PADI Tec 40 course. It is the first subdivision of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver course and consists of the first four dives. Because you can do one of these dives in confined water (such as a swimming pool), many divers start the Tec 40 courses in the winter months, ready to continue
in open water when spring arrives.

You'll learn to

• Use decompression software and dive computers to plan and make decompression dives with no more than 10 minutes of total decompression and not deeper than 40 metres/130 feet.
• Use a single cylinder of decompression gas with up to 50 percent oxygen (EANx50) to add conservatism to the required decompression.

Since it's part of the course, your PADI Tec 40 course training credits toward the PADI Tec 45 and Tec 50 courses.

The Scuba Gear You'll Use

You use recreational scuba equipment, with some minor additions to enhance your ability to deal with tec diving conditions.

You'll use the Tec Deep Diver Crew-Pak, which introduces you to :

• Tec diving lingo
• Emergency procedures
• Decompression and stage cylinder handling
• Gas planning

The pack includes a manual, dive planning checklist and dive planning slate. The optional Equipment Set-up and Key Skills video on DVD is a great tool to help you practice at home in between your tec diving adventures. You'll continue to use the Tec Deep Diver Crew-Pak through Tec 50.

This course is for Tec 50 divers (or those holding a qualifying certification from another training organization). The course extends your depth range capabilities by training you to use trimix (a blend of helium, oxygen and nitrogen)

You will:

• Plan and execute at least five trimix decompression dives using various trimix blends
• Use decompression software to create custom dive tables and dive plans
• Make training dives as deep as 65 metres/210 feet
