The equipment you will use
Most people agree that cave diving is a form of technical diving. Cave diving began to develop towards the end of the 60s and 70s, becoming a real discipline in the 80s. In the early 1990s, numerous groups of divers around the world began to try their hand at using this knowledge to explore shipwrecks and caves, at depths greater than those typical for recreational diving. These communities were first identified as “technical diving” or “tec diving” in the (now discontinued) AquaCorps magazine. Since then, technical diving has continued to develop in its objectives and technologies.
Technical diving not only involves greater risks, but also requires greater commitment, as well as greater discipline and dedicated equipment. It's not for everyone, and you can still be an expert diver without ever having done a technical dive.
Having made this premise, there is a vast group of divers who like to reach seabeds inaccessible to most. For example, many wonderful wrecks are found at depths greater than 40 metres. Aquatic life is different from that found in shallow water. Some people are attracted to the care and challenge required by technical diving. Others are attracted by technology and theory. In both cases, technical diving is always very rewarding.
The TecRec program made its debut in 2000. Although the TecRec course was not the first technical diving program (in fact the cave diving course had been around for decades) it has received numerous awards for its features.
TecRec courses are integrated into a robust education program, which continuously takes you from a novice technical diver to an expert in the use of mixed gases and planning decompression dives
Each level introduces the use of new equipment and procedures necessary to extend the limits of diving.
The Tec Diver course includes the following three courses: Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50. They can be completed consecutively, or one at a time in sequence. In this way, in addition to learning efficiently, you will be able to have a program that is more flexible to your time needs.

The equipment you will use
Technical diving requires much more equipment than recreational diving. Usually from 2 to 4 or 5 regulators, a specific dive computer for gas management, and also some accessories are required. Contact us to find out all the equipment needed for technical diving.
