DESCRIPTION

TEC-Diving (short for Technical Diving) allows you to extend your diving beyond normal recreational limits. That means going beyond 40m and going beyond no-stop limits. This allows you to plan longer dives to more advanced depths and locations. Technical Diving allows you to greatly expand your diving skills and knowledge and can provide you with experiences and exploration opportunities in places very few people will ever see:

Increased range – Exploring deeper than 40 metres
Increased time – stay longer than the No-Stop-Limit and decompress later
Explore new diving environments – Diving in caves, shipwrecks or other (overhead) environments
Increased skills – Using specialized gas mixtures and decompression procedures
Standardized technical equipment – Using highly specialized equipment, standardized between all divers
work in a team – learn to distribute tasks in a team and to trust your teammembers

Frequently asked questions about Tec Diving

To participate in a PADI tec course, you must be an Advanced Open Water Diver, hold a Rescue Diver certification, have experience in deep diving and nitrox diving, and log a minimum number of dives.

Although some dive centres in Tenerife provide the necessary equipment for the technical diving course, it is recommended that technical divers have their own specialised gear to ensure familiarity, comfort, and safety during dives.

Technical diving incorporates advanced safety protocols, such as using specific gas mixtures, detailed dive planning, mandatory decompression stops, and training in emergency management and rescue in complex environments.

Technical divers often participate in marine conservation projects, such as exploring and documenting deep-sea ecosystems, identifying species, and engaging in habitat preservation initiatives in Tenerife.

Rebreather diving is a form of technical diving that uses closed-circuit systems to recycle exhaled air, allowing for longer and quieter dives, ideal for observing marine life and deep exploration.

Completing a PADI technical diving course enhances your skills, enabling you to explore more challenging environments, improve your dive planning, manage gas mixtures, and boost your confidence and safety underwater.

After certification, it is essential to practice regularly, participate in supervised technical dives, join tec diving communities in Tenerife, and consider advanced courses or specialisations to continue developing your expertise.
