Tec Basics
PADI Tec Basics is an introductory course designed for certified recreational divers who are curious about technical diving but aren’t quite ready to commit to a full tec program. The course introduces foundational technical diving skills, equipment configurations, and procedures—such as proper trim and buoyancy, propulsion techniques, gas planning concepts, and team protocols—while diving within recreational depth limits. Tec Basics is ideal for divers who want to improve overall precision and confidence in the water, or who are considering progressing toward courses like PADI Tec 40 in the future.
