DSAT Tec Deep Diver Course

The Tec Deep Diver course takes you past recreational diving and immerses you in the world of technical diving.

After successful completion of the Tec Deep Diver course you'll be able to conduct gas-switch extended no-decompression dives, decompression dives and accelerated decompression dives using air, enriched air and oxygen to a depth of 50 metres using the correct technical diving equipment and procedures.

You'll also understand the hazards and risks involved in technical diving, as well as how to prepare for and handle reasonable foreseeable technical diving emergencies.
