What Is Technical Diving

Technical Diving takes your diving beyond the limits of recreational “no-decompression” dives, opening the door to longer dives in shallow waters or adventures to greater depths and unique locations. It significantly enhances your skills, knowledge, and experience, offering access to underwater worlds few ever see.

  • Extended Range – Explore depths beyond 40 meters (130 feet).
  • Diverse Environments – Venture into caves, shipwrecks, and other extraordinary sites.
  • Advanced Skills – Master specialized gas mixtures and decompression procedures.
  • Specialized Equipment – Use cutting-edge gear, including closed or semi-closed circuit rebreathers.

Sidemount Diving

Wearing more than one tank has become increasingly popular for technical diving. With the Tec Sidemount Diver course you can apply what you learn to other TecRec courses.

If you've looked into technical diving, you realize that tec divers always wear more than one tank. Sidemount is an increasingly popular way to configure multiple cylinders for technical diving. You can enter the world of tec diving with the Tec Sidemount Diver course and apply what you learn to other TecRec courses. Your instructor may offer to integrate this course with the Tec 40, Tec 45 or Tec 50 courses.

Rebreather Diving

Rebreathers are intriguing. They're cutting-edge dive technology. Always wanted to try one? The Discover Rebreather program lets you dive with a recreational rebreather or a technical closed circuit rebreather (CCR) in controlled conditions with a PADI Rebreather Instructor or Tec CCR Instructor. You'll discover how quiet diving can be without bubbles and quickly learn how different buoyancy control is. A Discover Rebreather experience is an ideal opportunity to give rebreathers a try before you sign up for a full course. Or, if you're already a rebreather diver, you can participate in the program to try a new or different type of rebreather.
