DISCOVER TEC – 2 hrs/1 dive. Course Price 50€
For those who are interested in tec diving and finding out a little more about using a different configuration of equipment, added tanks and of course, looking very cool, then Discover Tec is a good way to do so. You will learn the basic setup of twin banded cylinders that would be back mounted as well as how to rig up and carry a stage cylinder on the side. You will also be introduced to some of the tec skills learnt in the the first tec level course, the PADI Tec 40. DANGER, PROCEED WITH CAUTION, TEC DIVING IS ADDICTIVE!

Notes about Helium gas for TEC TRIMIX 65 & 90 - the gas price includes Helium gas for the instructor and the student. This is based on 1 student in the course. Should there be more students on the course then helium gas for the instructor can be shared between students, therefore reducing the helium cost per student.
