PADI Instructor & Tech Diver Training

Technical Diving
Technical diving is scuba diving's "extreme" sport, taking experienced and qualified divers far deeper than in mainstream recreational diving. Technical diving is marked by significantly more equipment and training requirements to manage the additional hazard this type of diving entails. Tec diving isn't for everyone, but for those who hear its challenge call, the PADI TecRec courses are the answer

What is Technical diving?
Technical scuba diving is defined as diving other than conventional commercial or research diving that takes divers beyond recreational scuba diving limits. It is further defined as and includes one or more of the following:
" diving beyond 40 meters
" required stage decompression
" diving in an overhead environment beyond 40 linear meters of the surface
" accelerated decompression and or the use of variable gas mixtures during the dive
Because in Technical diving the surface is effectively inaccessible in an emergency, Tec divers use extensive methodologies and Technologies and training to manage the added risks. Even with these, however, tec diving admittedly has more risk, potential hazard and shorter critical error chains than does recreational scuba diving

Prerequisites
TecRec prerequisites vary (see individual course descriptions), but the following applies to anyone interested in technical diving: You must be
o 18 years or older
o A mature, responsible person who will follow the required procedures and requirements strictly and faithfully
o Medically fit for tec diving (physician's signature required)
o Willing to accept the added risks that tec diving presents
o An experienced diver with at least 100 logged dives
o Certified as a PADI Enriched Air Diver and PADI Deep Diver or equivalent (for this program equivalency is proof of training in recreational deep diving 18 meters to 40 meters consisting of at least four dives and training in nitrogen narcosis considerations, contingency/emergency decompression, making safety stops and air supply management OR, have a minimum of 20 logged dives deeper than 30 meters.
