Tec 45

Take the next step...

As the second subcourse in the full PADI Tec Diver Course, Tec 45 course picks up and takes your training as a tec diver further and deeper. During this course you will make the transition from modified standard recreation dive gear to the basic tech equipment. You will learn the skills and equipment and planning procedures needed to dive to a maximum of 45 metres/145 feet. You will also gain the knowledge to plan and execute single and repetitive decompression dives using a single stage cylinder of EANx or oxygen to accelerate or add conservatism to the decompression stops. There would be no time limit to amount of decompression. Prepare for and respond to foreseeable technical diving emergencies.
