The third part of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver program is Tec 50. As a Tec 50 diver, you show that you’ve developed competency as a tec diver and have the skills to dive to a maximum of 50 metres/165 feet. You know how to make extended, accelerated decompression stops using up to two gases. It’s not easy to reach this level and earning your Tec 50 certification opens the door to deeper diving expeditions.
To enroll in the Tec 50 course, you must:
Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply – ask your Tec Deep Instructor.
Tec 50 | $559.00 |
Must have DSAT Tec Deep Diver Crew-Pak from Tec 40 & 45 Course | $0.00 |
Total | $559.00 |
The Tec 50 course includes two knowledge development sections, three practical application sessions and four open water dives.
A primary focus of this course is mission planning and execution. You also learn more about handling emergencies and how to think like a technical diver.
You’ll use full technical equipment and you may use a technical sidemount configuration, plus two stage/decompression cylinders.
Your Tec Deep Instructor may also introduce you to using trimix on the last open water dive.
