About PADI PADI Tec 45.
What's the real difference between Tec 40 and Tec 45?
Tec 40 caps you at a single, short deco obligation with a single deco gas. Tec 45 removes the depth and deco-time training limits — you plan and run full staged decompression to 45 m and add stage-cylinder handling.
Can I do Tec 40 and Tec 45 back to back?
Yes — many divers run Tec 40 and 45 together over about a week, and it's the most efficient way to progress. Ask us about combining them, or the full Tec 40/45/50 Deep Diver package.
