The third part of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver program is Tec 50. As a Tec 50 diver, you show that you’ve developed competency as a tec diver and have the skills to dive to a maximum of 50 metres. You know how to make extended, accelerated decompression stops using up to two gases. It’s not easy to reach this level and earning your Tec 50 certification opens the door to deeper diving expeditions.
To enroll in this course you must be:
- Be a PADI Tec 45 diver
- Have a minimum of 100 logged dives
- At least 20 dives on enriched air nitrox deeper than 18 metres
- At least 15 dives deeper than 30 metres
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months
Note: That qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply – ask your Tec Deep Instructor.
