Make extended range dives up to 50m / 165ft. Learn how to make dives with multiple decompression stops, using two decompression gasses.

The PADI TEC 50 course is the third part of the full PADI TEC Deep diver program. You will gain the knowledge and skills to make extended range dives to a maximum of 50m / 165ft. You’ll know how to make dives with multiple decompression stops using two decompression gasses.
‍
Tec 50 Trimix (option)
Curious about the benefits of using Trimix gas, like decreased gas density and reduced narcosis? Tec 50 divers can also learn to use trimix with not less than 21% oxygen and not more than 40% helium. This course prepares the diver to move into deeper, more complex trimix diving, such as the PADI Tec Trimix 65 and PADI Tec Trimix courses. Ask your dive instructor what additional requirements you may need to complete the Tec 50 Trimix option.
‍
The PADI Tec 50 course is conducted in full technical diving gear.
