Tec 40-45-50

Tec 40 Course

If you’re interested in technical diving, but haven’t yet met the prerequisites for the PADI Tec 50Diver 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.

Prerequisites

Be a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or hold a qualifying certification from another organization)
Be a PADI Enriched Air Diver (or hold a qualifying certification from another organization)
Be a PADI Deep Diver (or hold a qualifying certification from another organization)
Have a minimum of 30 logged dives, of which at least 10 dives were made with enriched air nitrox deeper than 18 metres / 60 feet. Have a medical form signed by your physician

Tec 45 Course

The Tec 45 course picks up where Tec 40 leaves off and takes your training as a tec diver further and deeper. It is the second subcourse in the full PADI Tec Diver course.

What You Learn

The skills and equipment and planning need to dive to a maximum of 45 metres/145 feetThe 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. Master the basic skills and procedures you’ll need as you move into deeper technical diving

Tec 50 Course

The Tec 50 course completes your training as an entry-level tec diver, taking you past the limits of recreational diving.

What You’ll Learn

Make actual decompression dives as deep as 50 metres/165 feet
Use enriched air nitrox and/or oxygen for decompression
Use desk top decompression software to create custom dive tables and plan your dives
Qualify to make technical decompression dives independently

Tec Trimix Diver Course

For the extreme diver ready to further explore the world of technical deep diving, the gas of choice is trimix – a blend of oxygen, helium and nitrogen. Max 90 m.
The PADI Tec Trimix Diver course takes you to the outer edges of technical deep diving, opening the door to pristine dive sites few divers – if any – ever see.

What You Learn

The PADI Tec Trimix Diver course is intended to extend the depth range of technical divers already trained and qualified to use air, enriched air and oxygen for technical decompression dives beyond 50 metres/165 feet. Diving with trimix is the outer edge of tec diving – the maximum depth for using this technology has yet to be defined.
This course is for Tec 50 or Tec Trimix 65 (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 90 metres

Prerequisites

PADI Rescue Diver (or hold a qualifying certification from another organization and having proof of CPR and first aid training with the previous two years)
Be certified as a Tec 50 or Tec Trimix 65 (or those holding a qualifying certification from another training organization
Be at least 18 years old
Have logged at least 150 dives
Have a medical form signed by your physician
