It is the first subdivision of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver course and 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'll 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.
- Use a single cylinder of decompression gas with up to 50 percent oxygen (EANx50) to add conservatism to the required decompression.
The Scuba Gear You'll Use
You can use recreational scuba equipment, with some minor additions to enhance your ability to deal with tec diving conditions but basic tec diving equipment is preferable as you continue to use this configuration during the remaining components of your technical diving training
