DSAT TecRec
courses provide
the techniques and
procedures
necessary for
diving beyond
recreational dive
limits. These are
some of the most
intensive, yet
exhilarating,
courses you'll
find.
Technical diving
isn't for everyone
but if this type
of diving appeals
to you and you're
willing to accept
the risks,
responsibilities
and obligations,
you'll find it one
of the most
rewarding dive
experiences you'll
ever have.

Tec 40 Course
The Tec 40 is
the first rung
in the Tec Deep
ladder,
the first
subdivision of
the full PADI
Tec Deep Diver
course consists
of the first
four dives.
Because you can
do one of these
dives in
confined water
(such as a
swimming pool),
many divers
start the Tec
40 courses in
the winter
months, ready to
continue in open
water when
spring arrives.
You will
learn to use
decompression
software and
dive computers
to plan and make
decompression
dives with
no more than 10
minutes of total
decompression
and not deeper
than 40
metres/130 feet.
By the end you
will be
qualified to use
a single
cylinder of
decompression
gas with up to
50 percent
oxygen (EANx50)
to add
conservatism to
the required
decompression.
