The Tec 40 is the first rung in the Tec Deep
ladder, the first subdivision of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver course
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 will 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.
By the end you will be qualified to use a single cylinder of
decompression gas with up to 50 percent oxygen (EANx50) to add
conservatism to the required decompression.
Pre-requisites for this course:
•
Be a PADI Advanced
Open water diver (or equivalent)
•
Be a PADI Deep
