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
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.

- Calculate SCR based on your dive
- Dive planning by using software
- Following GUE EDGE
- Goal
- Unified Team
- Equipment
- Exposure
- Decompression
- Gas Plannig
- Enviroment
- Review the emergency procedure
- Analyze tanks and note information
