If you're interested in technical diving, but haven't yet met the prerequisites for the PADI Tec 45 or Tec 50 Diver courses, you can get a start with Tec 40 and use it to build your experience. The course will lay out all the basic concepts of tech diving you'll need as you go forwards and take you through procedures for limited decompression dives down to 40m. Within the boundaries set in training this can allow you to almost double your bottom time at depths in the upper end of the range, those approaching 40m/130ft., where you may never have been able to spend long enough to appreciate the dive sites before....take the first step...get in touch with us!

Note that if Tec 40, 45 & 50 are all taken at the same time, training duration comes down six or seven days depending how much of the Knowledge development you have completed before arrival.

If you are ready to learn with this now it will help you as you progress.
