The PADI Tec 40 course introduces divers to limited decompression diving within accepted recreational depth limits. If you wish to continue on through the Tec 45 and Tec 50 courses you should take this course in complete Technical diving equipment. The standards of the Tec 40 qualification allow for more flexibility. Therefore, it is easy to accommodate divers interested in very limited technical diving since the Tec 40 equipment requirements are only a bit beyond the standard recreational kit.

The PADI Tec 40 Course is generally the first foray for a diver into the realm of diving beyond the established limits of recreational diving. This course is the first step in a series of courses, each building on the skills and techniques of past experiences. A certified PADI Tec 40 Diver is able to plan and execute limited Decompression dives to a depth of 130ft (40m) using equipment and additional tanks suitable for diving to these depths.

To enroll in the Tec 40 course, you must be:

•  A PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
• A PADI Enriched Air Diver with at least 10 dives using enriched air deeper than 18 metres/60 feet
• A PADI Deep Diver or proof of at least 10 dives to 30 metres/100 feet
• At least 18 years old and have a minimum of 30 logged dives

You also need to have a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.

This price course includes all of the Gas fills you need for the course, books, certification materials and dives.  Charters and Quarry fees are additional.
