Go Beyond with PADI TecRec

---

 Recreational divers can explore underwater worlds that non-divers will never see.

Technical divers can see all the sites recreational divers can, but they can go deeper and stay longer. 

Increased limits open up even more places to explore. 

However, tec divers use alternate breathing gasses and tons of gear. For this reason, tec dive sites can be limited for logistical reasons. 

 Every scuba diver is required to complete a training course to become certified to dive. 

Both tec and rec divers have a training path for continuing education.

 Recreational divers can choose specialities, such as fish identification or wreck diving. 

The tec diver path is introduction to Tec, Tec Basics, Tec40, Tec45 and Tec 50.

PADI® teaches to dive within your limits.

Open water divers dive to a maximum depth of 18 metres. Experienced divers are advised to stay within non-decompression limits above 40 metres. 

Technical divers can go beyond 40 metres and have planned decompression stops. These extended limits mean you can explore a wreck longer, or go further back into a cave. 

Photographers, for example, appreciate extended limits because they can take more time to get ‘that’ shot.
