The DSAT Tec 45 Diver course takes over where the Tec 40 course leaves off and takes your training as a technical diver furhter and deeper. It's the second subcourse in the full DSAT Tec Diver program.
In this 3 day course you'll learn the skills and equipment and planning needed to dive to a maximum of 45 meters (145 feet). You'll receive the knowledge to plan and execute single and repetitive decompression dives using a single Nitrox stage cylinder or oxygen to accelerate or add conservatism to your decompression stops.
There is no time limit for the decompression and you will be thoroughly prepared to respond any foreseeable technical diving emergency. We will teach you to master all the basic skills and procedures you will need as you move into deeper technical diving.
As learning materials you will use the DSAT Tec Deep Diver Crew Pak, which introduces you to:
- Tec Diving Lingo
