DSAT TEC 45

The Tec 45 course picks up where Tec 40 leaves off and  takes your training as a tec diver further and deeper. It is the second subcourse in the full PADI Tec Diver course.

During Tec 45 you will refine your skills and learn more about equipment and dive planning needed to dive up to a maximum depth of 45mt. You will practice planning and exacute single and  repetitve decompression dives using a single stage cylinder of EANx or oxygen to accelerate or add conservatism to the deco stops.

You will also be more prepared to respond within foreseeable technical diving emergencies.

Basically you will master the basic skills and procedures you’ll need as you move more and more into deeper technical diving.

This course requires a minimum time duration of 3 days.

What does this activity include?     

• Twin set, stage bottles and regulators
• Theory sessions
• Execute simulated decompression dives
• Respond to simulated emergencies
