PADI and TDI Technical Diving Courses

 

padi tech diving courses subic bay philippines

Technical diving is scuba diving’s ‘extreme’ sport, taking experienced and qualified divers far deeper than in mainstream recreational diving. Technical diving is marked by significantly more equipment and training requirements to manage the additional hazard this type of diving entails.

Technical diving isn’t for everyone, but for those who hear its challenge call, the PADI TecRec and TDI Technical courses are the answer.  These courses offered through Mango’s Dive Center are the most instructionally coherent and demanding tech diving programs available. They’re not easy – nor would you want them to be for this kind of diving.

The fun part of Technical diving is rising to the challenges as you dive deeper and longer than most divers ever do.

PADI and TDI Technical Courses

Technical diver courses are integrated into an instructionally valid, seamless course flow that takes you from beginning tech diver to one qualified to the outer reaches of sport diving using synthetic gas mixes.

Each level introduces you to new gear, planning and procedures appropriate to extend your diving limits.

The Scuba Gear You Use

Technical diving uses more scuba gear than recreational scuba diving.  The technical scuba gear equipment that you will use will involve the use of a twin-set (double tanks), Backplate and harness and enriched air stage tanks and an oxygen stage tank.  Your course will include all tanks, backplate/harness and regulators.  Students are expected to have their own masks, fins, boots, wetsuits and dive computers.  (These can be rented from us if you do not have them)

Prerequisites

Technical diving prerequisites vary (see individual course descriptions), but the following applies to anyone interested in technical diving:

You must be:

  • 18 years or older.
