TEC 40 - PADI

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 to calculate how much air you use and then use that to work out how much air you need in your cylinders and how to plan for any realistic problems that may happen during the dive.

The Tec 40 course consists of three knowledge development sections, three practical application sessions and four training dives. You'll learn about:

• Technical diving's risks and responsibilities
• Technical diving equipment, proper rigging and setup
• 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
