Tec 45 is also a subset of the Tec Deep Diver course and takes your skills to the next level. It introduces you to accelerated decompression diving up to 45 metres/145 feet using 100% oxygen.
Conducted over a period of at least three days, Tec 45 is a course where you will learn to rise to the challenge and make the commitment to become a technical diver.
It consists of three knowledge development sections, classroom sessions, and a minimum of four open water dives. Building on what you learned in the Tec 40 course, you focus on risk management and learn to think like a technical diver. You also learn the cognitive and motor skills necessary to be a safe technical diver.
Upon certification, Tec 45 divers are qualified to make limited accelerated decompression dives using enriched air or pure oxygen.
At SEI, technical diving courses are taught using a mix of classroom presentations, theory discussions, & in-water training, leading up to open water dives. An ideal course schedule goes as follows –
Day 1 (8.30am–5pm): Classroom presentation & decompression theory discussion; equipment & gas considerations; finning workshop & pool training
Days 2 & 3 (7am-3pm): Open water dives including qualifying dive, debrief & further remedial training if required.
Once a course is booked, we assign e-learning materials at the earliest to help you complete theory sections at your pace & convenience, prior to arrival at the dive centre. This is highly recommended as it also allows us to allocate more time for in-water training.
Technical courses are performance-based & not time-based. This means, the duration of the course depends on the time it takes you for to master skills & additional training days may be required, if necessary.
