Our PADI Tec 45 course is the second part of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver program.
You’ll extend your depth limit to 45 metres and learn to plan and execute repetitive decompression dives using a single stage / decompression cylinder. It puts you in a complete tec diving rig, which can be either backmount or sidemount. You’ll also make accelerated decompression dives using enriched air or pure oxygen.
This is a course where you’ll rise to the challenge and make the commitment to become a technical diver.
