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 meters/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 back mount or side mount. You’ll also make accelerated decompression dives using EANx or pure oxygen. This is a course where you’ll rise to the challenge and make the commitment to become a technical diver.

To enroll in the Tec 45 course, you must:

•     Be a PADI Tec 40 diver
•     Be a PADI Rescue Diver
•     Have a minimum of 50 logged dives, with at least 12 dives on enriched air nitrox deeper than 18 meters/60 feet and 6 dives deeper than 30 meters/100 feet
•     Be at least 18 years old
•     Have a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months
