Specifications

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 meters.

PADI Enriched Air Diver (at least 10 dives using enriched air deeper than 18m)
PADI Deep Diver or proof of at least 10 dives to 30m
18 years or older
Minimum of 30 logged dives
Current Dive Medical signed by a physician (conducted within the previous 12 months)

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