Who should take this course?
This is a course where you rise to the challenge and commit to becoming a technical diver. The PADI Tec 45 course extends your depth limit to 45 metres/150 feet. You will learn to plan and execute single and repetitive decompression dives using a single decompression cylinder with up to 100 percent oxygen. You will use double cylinders, which can be either back mount or sidemount diving configuration. Tec 45 is a prerequisite to Tec 50. There is also an option for divers to earn a Tec 45 Trimix Diver certification.
To enroll in the Tec 45 course, you must be:
- PADI Tec 40 Diver
- PADI Rescue Diver*
- Minimum of 100 logged dives or 75 hours
- 18 years old
- CPR/First Aid training within the previous two years
What will you learn?
Your Tec 45 training consists of seven knowledge development sections, four practical application sessions and four open water dives. Building on what you learned in the Tec 40 course, you will focus on additional techniques, procedures, and emergency skills. You will learn more advanced decompression, gas planning, decompression models, and fine-tune your thinking like a technical diver. Tec 45 Trimix students will also learn about diving trimix.
Tec 45 Trimix (option)
Curious about the benefits of using Trimix gas, like decreased gas density and reduced narcosis? Tec 45 divers can also learn to use trimix with not less than 21 percent oxygen and not more than 35 percent helium.
