DSAT Technical PADI Tec 40 Diving Malaysia.
PADI DSAT Tec 40 Course
If you're interested in technical diving, but haven't yet met the
prerequisites for the
PADI
Tec 50 Diver course or
PADI Tec 45 course, you can consider
enrolling in the PADI Tec 40 course. It is the first subdivision of
the full PADI Tec Deep Diver course and consists of the first four
dives. Because you can do one of these dives in confined water (such
as a swimming pool), many divers start the Tec 40 courses in the
winter months, ready to continue in open water when spring arrives.
You'll learn to
- Use decompression software and dive computers to plan and make
decompression dives with no more than 10 minutes of total
decompression and not deeper than 40 metres
- Use a single cylinder of decompression gas with up to 50 percent
oxygen (EANx50) to add conservatism to the required decompression.
Since it's part of the course, your PADI Tec 40 course training
credits toward the PADI
Tec 45 and
Tec 50 courses.
The Scuba Gear You'll Use
You use recreational scuba equipment, with some minor additions to
enhance your ability to deal with tec diving conditions.
The Learning Materials You'll Need
You'll use the Tec Deep Diver Crew-Pak, which introduces you to
- tec diving lingo
- emergency procedures
- decompression and stage cylinder handling
- gas planning
The pak includes a manual, dive planning checklist and dive planning
slate. The optional Equipment Set-up and Key Skills video on DVD is
a great tool to help you practice at home in between your tec diving
adventures. You'll continue to use the Tec Deep Diver Crew-Pak
through Tec 50.

- 10 dives must be on enriched air
