Two: Tec Diver Course Standards
This section covers general course standards that apply to the entire Tec Diver
course. In this section, you’ll find instructor and assistant requirements, prerequisites for
the Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50 courses, equipment requirements, instructor and student
material requirements, paperwork and administration standards, insurance requirements,
certification procedures, course sequence requirements and standards that apply to all
training dives. You’ll also find definitions of mastery as they apply to the Tec Diver
course.
Standards that are specific to the conduct of the Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50 courses
appear in the sections for those subcourses. Course standards that you must follow ap-
pear in boldface to clearly separate them from supporting material and suggestions.
Legal and Regulatory Considerations
DSAT TecRec programs provide courses and materials addressing the global needs
of PADI Members in more than 175 countries and territories. Be aware that in some
regions, regulations and laws may impose restrictions, requirements and prohibitions
regarding diving, diving as an employee, diving for any form of compensation, or all of
these. This particularly includes tec diving and any other form of diving that involves
depths deeper than 40 metres/130 feet, planned decompression stops and/or using
breathing mixes other than air.
It is your responsibility to be aware of and follow any local regulations that apply to
recreational and technical diving, and to teaching recreational and technical diving. Be
aware that regulations may exist on a federal, state/provincial, or city level.

status PADI Instructor who is certified as a DSAT Tec Deep Instructor. To conduct the

fied as a DSAT Tec Instructor.
You may qualify by completing a DSAT Tec Instructor or DSAT Tec Deep Instructor

tor Trainer, or by applying directly to your PADI Office.
