- Advanced diver certification
- Enriched air certification
- Deep diver certification (or show proof of at least 10 dives to 30 metres)
- Have a minimum of 30 logged dives, of which at least 10 were made with nitrox deeper than 18 metres

Tec 45 PHP 22,500
Following what you learned in the Tec 40, or other entry level tec program, the Tec 45 course teaches you to plan and execute repetitive decompression dives using desktop decompression software to a maximum depth of 45 meters, the time limits placed on your allowable deco time are now removed.
Accelerated decompression, that is switching to a higher percentage of O2, is covered in this course. You will decompress using blends up to 100% oxygen to reduce the amount of decompression time required.
In addition to further refining the skills you will have already learned additional skills such as tec specific rescue drills.

Tec Sidemount PHP 25,000
Sidemount diving is a gear configuration originally used by cave divers to reduce their profile, allowing access to smaller spaces. In recent times the configuration has found its way into open water technical and recreational diving because the benefits it brings with it such as the added safety of having your tank valves right in front of you allowing faster and easier responses to leaks, also without the isolator manifold, used by tec divers with twin tanks, the sidemount diver now has true redundancy, separate tanks. Other benefits are:
- Easier transport out of water
- Reduced back strain
- Easier buoyancy
- Simpler gear configuration and layout
- Smaller and lighter gear bags, sidemount kit is tiny
The tec sidemount course provide you with the skills needed to use sidemount for both recreational and technical diving, with one tank, four tanks or more, this course also includes simulated decompression making it perfect to refresh deco planning and execution skills or introduce them to budding tec divers.
The PADI Tec sidemount course compliments your current level of diver training allowing you to use sidemount kit within the confines of your training and experience.
