The third part of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver program is Tec 50. As a Tec 50 diver, you show that you've developed competency as a tec diver and have the skills to dive to a maximum of 50 metres/165 feet. You know how to make extended, accelerated decompression stops using up to two gases. It's not easy to reach this level and earning your Tec 50 certification opens the door to deeper diving expeditions.
 
What You'll Learn
 
During the Tec 50 course, you:
Make actual decompression dives as deep as 50 metres/165 feet
Use enriched air nitrox and/or oxygen for decompression
Use desktop decompression software to create custom dive tables and plan your dives
Qualify to make technical decompression dives independently

The Scuba Gear You'll Use 
 
You use technical scuba diving equipment

The Learning Materials You'll Need
The Tec Deep Diver Crew-Pak, which introduces you to tec diving lingo, emergency procedures, decompression and stage cylinder handling and gas planning. The pack 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.
