PADI TEC40

The PADI Tec 40 course is where you transition from recreational scuba diving to technical diving. It’s a great place to start because it’s the first subdivision of the full PADI Tec Diver course and bridges the gap between no stop diving and full technical deep decompression diving. You gain experience and begin building the knowledge and skills you need to continue your tec diver training. You will qualify to make limited decompression dives to 40 metres

Prerequisites

• PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
• PADI Enriched Air Diver with at least 10 dives using enriched air deeper than 18 metres
• PADI Deep Diver or proof of at least 10 dives to 30 meters

• PADI Medical Statement signed by a GP within the past 12 months

What will I learn?

The Tec 40 course consists of three knowledge development sections, three practical application sessions and four training dives. We will issue with the Tec Deep Diver Crewpack once you sign up.  You’ll learn about:

• Technical diving’s risks and responsibilities
• Technical diving equipment, proper rigging and set up
• Gas planning, oxygen limits and decompression planning
• Team diving techniques and emergency procedures, such as dealing with free flows, manifold leaks and out of gas situations

What kit is needed?

You’ll start with your basic scuba diving equipment and some technical diving equipment, speak to your instructor to discuss options.  Equipment can be hired for the course for an additional fee but we recommend purchasing your own kit so you can dive in your prefered set up after the course.  See out technicalsection online and talk to us about what will be best for you.
