If you're interested in technical diving, but haven't yet met the prerequisites for the PADI Tec 50 Diver or PADI Tec 45 Diver courses, you may consider enrolling in the PADI Tec 40 course.
It is the first subdivision of the full PADI Tec Diver course and entails four dives, one of which may be made in confined water or a swimming pool.
During the course, you will

- use decompression software and dive computers to plan and make decompression dives with no more than ten minutes of total decompression and not deeper than 40 metres
- use a single cylinder of decompression gas with up to 50 percent oxygen (EANx50) to add conservatism to the required decompression
Prerequisites
- Minimum of 30 logged dives including 10 Enriched Air Nitrox dives deeper than 18m.
- Good health, signed medical statement from a physician within past 12 months.
- PADI Advanced Diver certification or equivalent.
