About PADI PADI Tec 50.
What can I do with a Tec 50 certification?
You're certified to plan and conduct decompression dives to 50 m using two deco gases up to pure oxygen — independently, with a qualified team. It unlocks most of the Red Sea's deep wrecks and walls and is the prerequisite for trimix training.
Is Tec 50 the end of the ladder?
It's the top of the Tec Deep (air/nitrox) pathway. Beyond it lies helium-based trimix diving — our Tec Trimix 65 course — for depths past 50 m without the effects of narcosis.
