4 Paperwork and Administration Student divers in the DSAT Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50 courses must complete the following paperwork before beginning any inwater training. The paperwork must be completed even if it was completed at the previous level, except as noted: Liability Release and Express Assumption of Risk for Technical Diving. Note that Discover Tec participants continuing their training would not have signed this release, and therefore need to read and sign this release. Medical Statement. The student must have a physician s approval and signature on the Medical Statement. If the student received a physician s approval and signature on a Medical Statement for another course within the last year and has had no medical condition change, and if you have that Medical Statement on file, then the student diver does not need to see a physician again. Exception for Tec 40, first dive only: Students may participate in the Tec 40 Training Dive One if they answer no to all the medical history questions on a completed Medical Statement. Tec Diver Statement of Understanding and Learning Agreement Participants enrolling in the Discover Tec program must complete: The PADI Liability Release and Express Assumption of Risk. Medical Statement. Divers may participate in Discover Tec if they answer no to all the medical history questions on a completed Medical Statement. Insurance Requirements When teaching the DSAT Tec Diver course, you must have professional liability insurance that does not exclude diving deeper than 40 meters, making planned decompression dives, or using enriched air, oxygen and helium mixes. If not required, it is always recommended. It is recommended that you require student divers enrolled in any of the DSAT TecRec courses to carry diver medical insurance such as the DAN Diving Accident Insurance program that provides coverage for medical care following a dive accident, including recompression and transportation, without exclusions for coverage due to depth or gases used. 2

5 Confined, Limited and Open Water classifications Definition of Confined Water For the purposes of this program, confined water is defined as either a swimming pool or an open water site that offers swimming-pool-like conditions with respect to calmness and depth, with a minimum depth of 2.5 meters. Definition of Limited Open Water Because DSAT Tec Diver students have 30 or more dives, you may conduct the initial dives of the Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50 courses in limited open water. For the purposes of this program, limited open water is defined as an open water site, fresh or salt, no deeper than 10 meters. There should be no appreciable current and visibility sufficient to not negatively affect student comfort or skill development. Conditions should be sufficiently calm and temperature sufficiently warm that they are not significant factors. It is recommended that there is immediate access to water shallow enough in which to stand. Definition of Open Water For the purposes of the Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50 courses, open water is defined as a body of water considerably larger than a swimming pool with the adequate depth and conditions for meeting the performance requirements of each training dive. These may include, but are not limited to, the ocean, lakes, springs and quarries. Student divers should be confident they can handle the demands imposed by the environment while applying and mastering the required procedures and motor skills. 3

6 Tec 40, 45, 50 and Trimix 65 qualifications Tec 40 The Tec 40 course introduces divers to limited decompression diving within accepted recreational depth limits. A Tec 40 diver is qualified to: Use decompression software and dive computers to plan and make decompression dives with not more than 10 minutes of total decompression and not deeper than 40 meters. Use a single cylinder of decompression gas with up to 50 percent oxygen (EANx50) to add conservatism to the required decompression. The Tec 40 course consists of knowledge development, three practical application sessions, one confined or limited open water dive, two open water no stop dives (simulated decompression) and one open water decompression dive. Tec 45 The Tec 45 course provides a transitional qualification while continuing to develop as a technical diver. A Tec 45 diver is qualified to: Make single and repetitive dives to a maximum depth of 45 meters. Use a single decompression gas of EANx, or oxygen, to accelerate or add conservatism to the decompression. In addition to the Tec 40 course requirements, the Tec 45 course consists of knowledge development, three practical application sessions, one confined or limited open water dive, two open water no stop dives (simulated decompression) and one open water decompression dive. Tec 50 The Tec 50 course is the complete, entry-level skill set for extensive open circuit deep decompression tec diving (formerly Tec Deep Diver). The diver is qualified to make technical decompression dives within the limits of training and equipment. A Tec 50 is qualified to: Use air, EANx and oxygen for multiple stop decompression dives as deep as 50 meters using standard open circuit, multiple cylinder (backmount and/or sidemount) tec diving equipment. Use two decompression gases (EANx and/or oxygen) to accelerate or add conservatism to the decompression. In addition to the Tec 45 course requirements, the Tec 50 course consists of knowledge development, two practical application sessions, two open water no stop dives (simulated decompression) and two open water decompression dives. 4

7 Tec Trimix 65 The Tec Trimix 65 course is an intermediate level trimix course that is an option for Tec Trimix Instructors. Tec Trimix 65 extends Tec 50 and bridges to the full Tec Trimix Diver certification. The Tec Trimix 65 diver is qualified to make technical decompression dives within the limits of training and equipment. A Tec Trimix 65 diver is qualified to Use air, EANx, oxygen and trimix with 18% or more oxygen for multiple stop decompression dives as deep as 65 meters using standard open circuit, multiple cylinder (backmount and/or sidemount) tec diving equipment. Use two decompression gases (EANx and/or oxygen) to accelerate or add conservatism to the decompression. In addition to the Tec 50 course requirements, the Tec Trimix 65 course consists of additional knowledge development, practical application and open water no stop dives (simulated trimix decompression). The final open water decompression trimix dive may be combined with the final dive of the Tec 50 course. 5

9 Tec 40 Program Sequence The Tec 40 course consists of three knowledge development sections, three practical applications sessions and four training dives. You will find these in the Knowledge Development, Practical Application and Training Dive subsections, each with content/presentation outlines and related standards. The fully integrated instructional sequence for the Tec 40 course is: Tec 40 Knowledge Development One Tec 40 Practical Application One Tec 40 Training Dive One Tec 40 Knowledge Development Two Tec 40 Practical Application Two Tec 40 Training Dive Two Tec 40 Knowledge Development Three Tec 40 Practical Application Three Tec 40 Exam Tec 40 Training Dive Three Tec 40 Training Dive Four Any knowledge development sections, practical applications or training dives that precede a training dive in the integrated sequence must be successfully completed before that training dive. For example, the following sequences would be acceptable: Tec 40 Knowledge Development One Tec 40 Knowledge Development Two Tec 40 Practical Application One Tec 40 Practical Application Two Tec 40 Training Dive One Tec 40 Training Dive Two Tec 40 Knowledge Development Three Tec 40 Practical Application Three Tec 40 Exam Tec 40 Training Dive Three Tec 40 Training Dive Four Tec 40 Knowledge Development One Tec 40 Knowledge Development Two Tec 40 Knowledge Development Three Tec 40 Practical Application One Tec 40 Training Dive One Tec 40 Practical Application Two Tec 40 Training Dive Two Tec 40 Exam Tec 40 Practical Application Three Tec 40 Training Dive Three Tec 40 Training Dive Four 7

10 Tec 40 Practical Application 1-4 Tec 40 students do not use the Knowledge Reviews in the Tec Deep Diver Manual. Instead, copy the blank Tec 40 Knowledge Reviews in the Appendix for their use. You will also find the answer keys there. Tec 40 students complete the exam after successfully completing Knowledge Development Three. To be successful, the student diver must score 80% or higher and review each question missed with the instructor until mastery on all questions is achieved. Students who score less than 80% must repeat the exam (version B) after ample time to remediate. Administration Course costs Equipment and material requirements Confirm course prerequisites: Students sign the Tec Diver Statement of Understanding and Learning Agreement Have student divers read, complete and sign the Liability Release and Express Assumption of Risk for Technical Diving (or the technical diving release specified by your PADI Office for your local area). The release must be signed before any inwater training. Have student divers read, complete and sign the PADI Medical Statement. Prior to Training Dive Two, the student must have a physician s approval and signature on the Medical Statement. If the student received a physician s approval and signature on a Medical Statement for another course within the last year and has had no medical condition change, and if you have that Medical Statement on file, then the student does not need to see a physician again. If students answer no to all the medical history questions on the Medical Statement, they may participate in Tec 40 Training Dive One. Note that this applies only to Tec 40 Training Dive One. In some areas, local law requires all scuba participants to obtain a physician s approval before any diving. Diver insurance It s recommended that you require students in the DSAT Tec 40 course to have dive accident insurance such as offered by the Divers Alert Network, if available in your area. 8

11 Tec 40 Practical Application On the surface, the practical applications develop skills with procedures related to gear rigging, using decompression software and dive planning. However, the practical applications also develop the team thinking and spirit appropriate for technical diving. Tec 40 Practical Application One Conduct 1. Divide the class into teams of two to four individuals. 2. Review proper rigging with a set up kit or kits, including deco cylinder with markings, mask, fins, gauges, exposure suit, etc. The kit or kits should be in the configuration(s) that students will be using (Tec 40, Tec 45, etc.) 3. Tell the class that, working as teams, they re to set up their equipment in an appropriate configuration modeled on your example and what they ve prepared. 4. Be available to answer questions and assist with configuration challenges. 5. When complete, students present their kits as teams for you to assess. Note any discrepancies and have the team correct them and then present their rigs again as a team. Tec 40 Practical Application Two Conduct 1. Divide the class into teams of two to four individuals. 2. Demonstrate one or more types of desk top decompression software, showing students how to launch the program, enter settings and plan a Tec 40 level dive similar to what they will be making 3.
