Tec 40

If you're interested in technical diving, but haven't yet met the prerequisites for the PADI Tec 50\Tec Deep Diver course or PADI Tec 45 course, you can consider enrolling in the PADI Tec 40 course. It is the first subdivision of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver course and consists of the first four dives.  This is the perfect entry point into the technical field of diving and provides a smooth transition from recreational diving. Upon completion you will be qualified to complete up to 10 minutes of non-accelerated decompression while breathing from one additional deco cylinder of up to EANx50. (Depth is limited to 40m). Remember since it’s part of the course, this experience will be credited toward your Tec 45, Tec 50 and or full Tec Deep.
