The Tec 45 course picks up where Tec 40 leaves off taking your training as a Tec Diver further and deeper. It is the second subcourse in the full PADI Tec Deep Diver course and a prerequisite of the DSAT Tec 50 course.

This program provides a transitional qualification to the developing technical diver.

The Qualifications of this certification are narrow reflecting limited training and experience. The expectation is that a Tec 45 diver will continue on to Tec 50.

In this program, you will learn the skills, equipment and planning need to dive to a maximum of 45 metres/145 fee. You will learn the knowledge to plan and execute single and repetitive decompression dives using a single stage cylinder of EANx or oxygen to accelerate or add conservatism to the decompression stops. Tec 45 helps divers prepare for and respond to foreseeable technical diving emergencies and master the basic skills and procedures you’ll need as you move into deeper technical diving.

Prerequisites for this course are:

• Be a PADI Tec 40 Diver
• Be a PADI Rescue Diver
• Have a minmum of 50 logged dives with at least 12 dives on Enriched Air deeper than 18 meters/ 60 feet and 6 dives deeper than 30 meters/ 100 feet
• Be at least 18 years old
• have a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.

The Course Fees for this course include the training materials, certification materials, decompression cylinder rental (if needed) and all the gas fills for the duration of the course. Charter and Quarry fees are additional.
