I’ve been diving for over 20 years, including instructing and Matt was able to bring my diving skills and knowledge to a completely new level

The Tec 50 Diver programme is the final part of the full tech deep programme. You’ll demonstrate you know how to plan, execute and safely carry our extended accelerated decompression dives to a maximum of 50 metres using two decompression gases plus your back gas. This opens the door to mixed gas diving at the next level.

What’s Involved

This course has two knowledge development sessions, three practical application sessions and four open water dives. These will be scheduled to suit divers enrolled in each course, but typically will be run over a long weekend.

Course Skills

Advanced teamwork, focus on managing failures and emergencies, advanced gas and decompression planning. Emphasis on control, attitude, behaving and thinking like a technical diver.

Why Do the Course?

This course will appeal to experienced technical divers who are now seeking to explore the limits of extended range, air decompression diving. It develops and prepares you for the PADI Tec 65 trimix and full trimix courses and gives you a platform to explore advanced wreck, techncial rescue and safety diver training programmes.

What’s Included

The course fee covers instructional time, manual, use of facilities including pool. Students are expected to pay any boat costs and accommodation costs required to complete the course but we do have packages available. Only after the successful completion of the course do you pay your certification fee – “you pay for training – you earn the certification”
