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 metres/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 backmount or sidemount. 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.

Your Tec 45 training consists of three knowledge development sections, three practical application sessions and four open water dives. Building on what you learned in the Tec 40 course, you focus on the function and maintenance of tec diving equipment and associated issues. You continue fine-tuning gas planning and calculating accelerated decompression stops. Plus, you learn to think like 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 metres/60 feet and 10 dives deeper than 30 metres/100 feet
  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Have a medical statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months

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.
