PADI TecRec Tec 45

The PADI TecRec Tec 45 course challenges you to take the next step in your diving journey and commit to becoming a proficient technical diver. This course extends your depth limit to 45 meters/150 feet, enabling you to plan and execute both single and repetitive decompression dives using a single decompression cylinder with up to 100 percent oxygen. You'll utilize double cylinders, which can be configured either in a back mount or sidemount diving setup. Tec 45 serves as a prerequisite to Tec 50, and divers also have the option to pursue certification as a Tec 45 Trimix Diver.

Academic Component:

The Tec 45 training program comprises seven knowledge development sections, four practical application sessions, and four open water dives. Building upon the foundation laid in the Tec 40 course, participants will delve deeper into advanced techniques, procedures, and emergency skills. Topics covered include advanced decompression, gas planning, decompression models, and further development of the technical diver mindset. Tec 45 Trimix students will also receive instruction on diving with trimix gas.

Language Options:
For information on available languages, please contact your local PADI Dive Center.

Equipment:
Participants will utilize full technical dive equipment, which includes wings and doubles plus an additional deco cylinder, or they may opt for a technical sidemount configuration.
