What Is Technical Diving

Padi Tec 40 course introduces divers to limited decompression, using software or dive computers, for diving within recreational depth limits. This Tec Training course is prerequisite to the Tec 45 and Tec 50 level.

 

Cyprus Technical Diving Courses Padi Tec 40 course is equivalent of advanced nitrox course in other technical diving agencies. The equipment needed is a regular single tank BCD and a side mounted stage/deco tank.  The main goal of the Padi Tec 40 course is to teach diving in technical diving gear if possible and foundational fundamentals of technical safe decompression beyond those of recreational divers.

If you previously experienced being close to NDL (no decompression limit) or you have even exceed it, this course give you basics how to dive safer in the future when being near or over timed.

The diver will also learn how to make limited decompression dives to 40m/130ft using a single stage cylinder of decompression gas. Double tanks (or side mounted) are encouraged but not required on this course, although the full standardized technical diving rig will be discussed.

Decompression dives is limited to a maximum of ten minutes on this course with a single decompression gas up to 50% oxygen being used only to add conservatism to the dive.

Skills are introduced and developed to allow handling of reasonably foreseeable emergencies that may occur in this type of diving.

The course consists of foundational confined water training dive/s, open water training dives, three knowledge development sessions and three practical equipment set-up and planning applications for technical diving.
