Tec40 diver course

Consists of seven knowledge development sections, four practical application sessions and four training dives. Designed for the diver transitioning from recreational diving to technical diving.

Activities Allowed After Certification

Diving within a depth of 40 meters, with a total decompression time of less than 10 minutes.
Diving with a decompression cylinder up to EANx50.

Equipment to be prepared by yourself

BCD
Regulator　( 210cm long horse )
Torch
DSMB (Spool/30meters and Surface marker buoy or Lift bag)
Backup Mask
Dive computer
Wrist type Compass
Cutting device
Slate and pencil

Student Prerequisites

PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or Equivalent
PADI Enriched Air Diver
PADI Deep Diver or proof of 10 dives to 30 metres/100 feet or deeper
30 logged dives
18 years old

Recommendation from TEAL ORANGE DIVE

Have a own equipment
Usually perform the frog kick( helicopter turn, backward kick )
100 logged dives

Introduce a section of the Tec40 course

Buoyancy control

With two tanks on the back as doubles and a decompression tank with up to 50% oxygen side-mounted, basic skills such as normal hovering, helicopter turns, and back kicks will be performed while mounting a total of three tanks.

Practical Application

Assemble the technical diving equipment
V-drill
S-drill

NO TOX gas switch / switches gas on computer
Calculate SCR based on your dive
Dive planning by using software
Following GUE EDGE
- Goal
- Unified Team
- Equipment
- Exposure
- Decompression
