As a Tec 50 diver, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to make extended range dives to a maximum of 50 metres/165 feet. You’ll know how to make dives with multiple decompression stops using two decompression gases. It's not easy to reach this level. Earning your Tec 50 certification opens the door to deeper diving expeditions.
Contact us to get access to the PADI Tec 50 Diver eLearning, which you'll need to complete independently before meeting with your PADI Tec 50 Instructor.
The Tec 50 course consists of five knowledge development sections, four practical application sessions and four training dives. The primary focus of this course is learning advanced dive equipment options, techniques and procedures using two deco cylinders, and how to plan more complex dives. You also learn more how to handle emergencies, support diving considerations, and sharpen your thinking as a technical diver.
You'll use full technical dive equipment and may use technical sidemount configuration, plus two decompression cylinders.
