Highlights

The PADI Tec 45 course is the second part of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver program. You'll extend your depth limit to 45 metres/145 feet and learn to plan and execute repetitive decompression dives using a single stage/decompression cylinder. It puts you in a complete tec diving rig, which can be either backmount or sidemount.

  • PADI Tec 45 Diver course is the second core open circuit technical diving course.
  • This four-dive course builds on what you learned as a Tec 40 Diver to enable you to make unrestricted decompression dives to a deeper depth.
  • You'll learn additional technical diving techniques and emergency responses, more advanced tec dive planning, tec rescue, expand your knowledge of thinking like a technical diver, and working as a tec diving team.
