Who should take this course?
If you’ve looked into technical diving, you realize that tec divers always wear more than one tank.
Sidemount is an increasingly popular way to configure multiple cylinders for technical diving.
You can enter the world of tec diving with the Tec Sidemount Diver course and apply what you learn to other TecRec courses.
Our instructor may offer to integrate this course with the Tec 40, Tec 45 or Tec 50 courses.
If you’re a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, at least 18 years old and have a minimum of 30 logged dives, you qualify to enroll in a Tec Sidemount Diver course.
It’s recommended that you also have a PADI Enriched Air Diver certification.
Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply.
What will you learn?
You’ll learn about the advantages of diving with a sidemount configuration and how to set up a tec sidemount harness. You’ll get hands-on training during one confined water session and four open water dives where you’ll start with two tanks and add at least two more, maybe even getting to six sidemounted cylinders.

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 are the qualifications to enroll?
To enroll in the Tec 50 course, you must be:
*PADI Tec 45 diver
*Have a minimum of 100 logged dives, with at least 20 dives on enriched air nitrox deeper than 18 metres/60 feet and 15 dives deeper than 30 metres/100 feet

The PADI Tec 45 course is the second part of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver program.
You’ll extend your depth limit to 45 metres/145 feet and learn to plan and execute repetitive decompression dives using a single stage/decompression cylinder. It puts you in a complete tec diving rig, which can be either backmount or sidemount.
You’ll also make accelerated decompression dives using EANx or pure oxygen. This is a course where you’ll rise to the challenge and make the commitment to become a technical diver.

You continue fine-tuning gas planning and calculating accelerated decompression stops. Plus, you learn to think like a technical diver.
