Push Beyond Recreational Diving Limits. Enter the World of Technical Diving.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recreational scuba diving is typically conducted with a single tank, using standard air as the breathing gas and staying within no-decompression limits. With Technical Diving (Tec Diving)<\/b>, it\u2019s a whole different story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tec Diving involves a wide range of skills and considerations: using multiple tanks, different gas mixes, and exceeding no-decompression limits.\nThis requires entirely different dive planning and, of course, a deeper understanding of technical diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can gain this knowledge through any of the Technical Diving courses<\/b> offered at Sea Spirit Diving Resort<\/b>. PADI Platinum Course Director Carmelo Sgroi<\/b> is also a PADI Tec Deep Instructor<\/b> and can teach PADI Tec 40, PADI Tec 45, and PADI Tec 50<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During these courses, you\u2019ll study the theory of technical diving and become familiar with concepts like accelerated decompression<\/b>, SAC (Surface Air Consumption)<\/b>, stage\/deco cylinders<\/b>, and how to manage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Tec Diving?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The main reason is to expand your diving knowledge through Tec courses and to access deeper dive sites such as wrecks and enjoy longer bottom times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, at Sea Spirit we frequently visit the \u201cGorgonie Capo Sant\u2019Andrea\u201d dive site<\/b>.\nWith recreational diving, we only have about 5 minutes of bottom time due to depth limitations.\nWith proper Tec training, we can extend bottom time to 20 minutes, giving us the chance to take photos, admire marine life, and fully appreciate the spectacular gorgonians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PADI Tec 40 Course Qualifies You To:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Dive to a maximum depth of 40 meters<\/b> using air or enriched air (EANx)
2. Conduct dives with a maximum of 10 minutes of required decompression<\/b>
3. Use enriched air blends (NITROX) up to 50% oxygen (EANx50)<\/b>
4. Conduct technical dives with up to 2 cylinders<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PADI Tec 45 Course Qualifies You To:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Conduct accelerated decompression dives using air, enriched air (EANx), or oxygen to a maximum depth of 45 meters<\/b>
2. Use a single decompression gas up to 100% oxygen<\/b>
3. Conduct technical dives with up to 3 cylinders<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PADI Tec 50 Course Qualifies You To:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Conduct accelerated decompression dives using air, enriched air (EANx), and oxygen to a maximum depth of 50 meters<\/b>
Use two decompression gases of EANx and up to 100% oxygen<\/b>
3. Conduct technical dives with up to 4 cylinders<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During all courses, knowledge development must be completed<\/b>, and you will practice real-world applications such as finning techniques and maintaining neutral buoyancy positions<\/b>.\nSeveral dives are included, both in confined pool sessions and open water<\/b>.\n\nAdditionally, you\u2019ll discover a whole new world of technical diving equipment<\/b>, which will be fully explained during the course.\nEach course lasts approximately 4 days<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
