TEC DEEP PROGRAM INFO

At the end of the PADI Tec Deep program, you will have earned your Tec 40, Tec 45, and Tec 50 certifications.  These courses can be taken consecutively to maximize skill practice and retention.  Keep newly learned procedures and techniques fresh in your mind as you move through the Tec Deep sequence.  

If you prefer to space these courses out, they do not have to be taken back to back.  Hop aboard our Technical Diving Charters to fine tune your skills in the meantime.

TEC DEEP PROGRAM REQUIRED GEAR

Tec diving gear is different than a recreational setup.  It is highly recommended to arrange a gear consultation or discuss equipment with your instructor.  All gear must meet the requirements for the course.

Some equipment, such as regulators, exposure protection suits, and masks, are available for rent.  Make sure to consult with your instructor or call the shop with questions. 

Tanks and weights are included with the class fees.  If you have your own, please discuss this with your instructor prior to the course.  Tanks must meet the course requirements.
