PADI Deep Tec Courses

Tec 40 Course                           $400 plus materials

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.

Prerequisites

Tec 45 Course                          $400 plus materials

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 feet
• 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 
• Master the basic skills and procedures you’ll need as you move into deeper technical diving

Tec 50 Course                          $400 plus materials

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

During the Tec 50 course, you

• 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  

                                               

TDI Advanced Nitrox                           $400 plus materials
Examines the use of EAN 21 through 100% (oxygen) for optimal mixes to a depth of 130fsw/40msw. Trains divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilizing EAN 21 through 100% (oxygen) for dives not requiring staged decompression.

TDI Decompression Procedures            $400 plus materials
Examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. Trains divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a maximum depth of 150fsw.

Semi-closed Circuit Rebreather             $400
Entry-level certification course for recreational divers wishing to utilize a nitrox semi-closed circuit re-breather (benefits, hazards and proper procedures are comprehensively taught).

Introduction to Cave Diving
Introduction to the basic principles of cave diving utilizing a single cylinder. Introductory cave diving is the second level in the development of safe techniques for cave diving, directly building upon the cavern course.

Basic Tri-Mix
Provides the training required to competently and safely utilize breathing gasses containing helium for dives that require staged decompression, utilizing nitrox and/or oxygen mixtures during decompression to a maximum depth of 200fsw/60msw.

Tri-Mix
Provides the training required to competently and safely utilize breathing gasses containing helium for dives that require staged decompression, utilizing nitrox and/or oxygen mixtures during decompression to a maximum depth of 300fsw/100msw.
