You'll start with your basic scuba diving gear and add technical diving equipment, which essentially means you begin to double up on your gear. Your PADI Tec Instructor may have you dive with EANx for additional conservatism.

Some technical equipment includes:

• Primary Mask and Backup Mask
• Wing-typed BCD and Harness, with D-rings on shoulders for clipping extra equipment
• Primary and Secondary Regulator (Primary is the longer of the two for sharing with a buddy, the Secondary is for personal use in case of an emergency)
• Twin Cylinders, Decompression Cylinders/Stage Mounts (Often two cylinders are carried)
• Multigas Dive Computers and SPG (Backups of these are always recommended)
• Some Other Gear: Compass, Slates, Backup Dive Tables, DSMB, Emergency Signaling Devices, Knife, Reel and Lift Bag.

You PADI Tec Instructor may advise having some other equipment not listed above, so check-in with your Instructor prior.
