PADI Tec Rec
Planned, disciplined, and a long way down.
Each level builds on the last. Tec Basics lets you try it properly first, you can stop at whichever depth suits your diving, and there's no shame in staying at Tec 40 for years.
“His guidance, deep expertise, and encouraging approach made complex, technical training feel accessible, safe, and deeply rewarding.”
30m
Tec Basics
Try Tec properly before you commit. One day on twins or sidemount with a long hose (and a stage if you're 18 or over), all within recreational limits. Carry on and it can count towards Tec 40.
