PADI Tec 50

Course Information

Part 3 of the full PADI Tec Deep Diver program. Develop competency & have the skills to dive to a max of 50 metres/165 ft. Learn how to extend & accelerate decompression stops using up to 2 gases.

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.

To enroll in the Tec 50 course, you must be:

  • Be a 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
  • Be at least 18 years old

You also need to have a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.

Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply – ask our dive team for details.

The Tec 50 course includes two knowledge development sections, three practical application sessions and four open water dives. A primary focus of this course is mission planning and execution. You also learn more about handling emergencies and how to think like a technical diver.

You'll use full technical equipment and you may use a technical sidemount configuration, plus two stage/decompression cylinders.

Course Schedule

We generally run the Tec 50 course at Stoney Cove either over one weekend or split over a couple of weekends depending on your schedule. Theory is completed in store in our classroom before your open water dives.
