PADI TecRec Technical Diving Courses
The PADI TecRec program debuted in 2000 as a partnership with DSAT. Although TecRec is not the first tech-diving program, it repeatedly receives accolades for its merits.
- TecRec courses are integrated into an instructionally valid, seamless course flow that takes you from beginning tec diver to one qualified to the outer reaches of sport diving using different gas mixes.
- Each level introduces you to new gear, planning and procedures appropriate to extend your diving limits.
- The Tec Diver course is an integrated sequence of three sub-courses: Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50. You can complete them continuously, or you can complete each level separately with a time span between them. This gives you learning efficiency, instructional integrity and schedule flexibility.
Restructured in early 2010, the DSAT’s role is being phased out, although its commitment to excellence still lives on in the TecRec programs. Click the flowchart above to see the training path and read more on individual courses below.
