PADI / TDI PADI Tec Rec and PADI Tec Trimix with Sidemount
Why take a sidemount course??
-
You can carry your cylinders into the water one at a time, with minimal risk to your back
-
Availability, you are not limited by the availability of backmount doubles. So long as there are single cylinders available, you can sidemount
-
You can finally look up and clearly see what is in front of you — without banging your head on a manifold
-
You never again have to worry about gas loss due to catastrophic manifold failure — or about your ability to reach your manifold’s turnwheels in an emergency
-
Perfect for restrictions
What do you need to start?

What's included in the course?
All cylinders, gases, rental tec regulators, manual and certification fee is included. In addition we teach all of our diver level courses in small groups to ensure that you receive the attention that you deserve. All our courses are taught to PADI Standards
Some information on PADI Tec Rec Programs
- Tec 40 -The entry point into the technical range, it provides a transition from recreational to tech. Although the use of full tech gear (doubles and wings) is preferred, it does allow modified use of recreational gear in some situations, provided the diver has two separate regulators, with one of the first stages fitted with a long hose. The intended working limit for a diver of this grade is 40 metres/130 feet with up to 10 minutes of non-accelerated decompression while breathing up to EANx50.
- Tec 45 -The diver now must wear the full ‘standardised’ tech rig, including wings and doubles, plus an additional deco cylinder. (Note that side mounted cylinders are an acceptable alternative to back mounted doubles throughout the TecRec range). The course will allow the diver to go to 45 metres/145 feet and make accelerated decompression dives using any mix of EANx or oxygen.
- Tec 50 - At the end of this course the diver will have the same set of skills and knowledge as the present Tec Deep Diver. As such it represents a high level of competency for a technical diver. Although the option exists to make the last dive of the course using trimix, it is intended as an air/nitrox rating and by the end the diver can dive to a maximum of 50 metres/165 feet and make extended, accelerated decompression dives.
- Tec Trimix 65 - This course opens up the advantages of trimix to the diver, and divers are qualified to make multi-stop decompression dives that employ EANx and oxygen for accelerated decompression, and any trimix with an oxygen content of 18% or more. They can dive to a maximum depth of 65 metres/210 feet.
