Accordingly, the course not only develops the knowledge and skills to make open circuit technical dives as deep as 45 metres/145 feet, but also begins developing the knowledge and skills the diver will need beyond his current certifications.
Tec 50
The Tec 50 cource introduces Tec 45 divers to the first stages of full technical deep decompression diving. The Tec 45 diver comes to the course with a strong knowledge and skill base. The Tec 50 course extends these, expanding existing skills and with an added emphasis on mission planning and execution.
