TEC REC
Tec Rec is the 'technical diving' branch of the Professional Association of Diving Instructor (PADI).
"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. Tec diving isn’t for everyone, but for those who hear its challenge call, the PADI TecRec courses are the answer."
At present, the only Tec Rec course offered is the Gas Blender course.

TEC REC GAS BLENDER COURSE
Highly recommended for current or aspiring dive professionals, the Tec Rec Gas Blender course will train you as a qualified gas blender, allowing you to provide gas mixes to appropriately certified divers. More people are diving with enriched air and this means the demand for enriched air fills is also increasing. This course will cover topics including the physical properties of oxygen and its associated hazards, handling requirements, and methods and equipment needed for oxygen cleaning. It will also go through various methods of obtaining the desired gas mix.
There are two levels of courses, and the most appropriate level for you will depend on your desired gas mix.
- Tec Rec Gas Blender - Nitrox
- Tec Rec Gas Blender - Trimix
