TEC 40 If you're interested in technical diving, the PADI Tec 40 course is the first subdivision of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver course and consists of the first four dives. The PADI Tec 40 course is the perfect introduction to tec diving, and introduces you to the basic knowledge, skills, procedures and equipment for tec diving.

 

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.

 

The Scuba Gear You'll Use

You use either full tec diving equipment (back-mount or sidemount double tanks), or recreational scuba equipment, with some minor additions to enhance your ability to deal with tec diving conditions.

The Learning Materials You'll Need

You'll use the Tec Deep Diver Crew-Pak, which introduces you to

• tec diving lingo
• emergency procedures
• decompression and stage cylinder handling
• gas planning

The pak includes a manual, dive planning checklist and dive planning slate. You'll continue to use the Tec Deep Diver Crew-Pak through Tec 50.
