Divers must hold a Rescue Diver certification or equivalent before completing the Tec 50 level of training. Rescue Diver training is strongly recommended before starting the FULL Tec Program.

This program is intended for experienced recreational divers who are ready to transition into technical diving through a structured and progressive training path.

It suits divers who want to move beyond recreational limits, improve control and awareness in the water, expand dive planning skills, and gain confidence using technical configurations and decompression procedures under consistent instruction.

Each level is completed in sequence. Divers build competence step by step while developing sound judgment and effective team diving practices.

The FULL Tec Program may be completed using backmount doubles or sidemount technical configurations.

Divers who plan to complete the program in sidemount must hold a Sidemount Diver certification or equivalent before the start of training.

In this integrated format, all dives that satisfy Tec 40, Tec 45, and Tec 50 requirements are conducted using doubles or sidemount configurations rather than single cylinder setups. This approach supports skill progression, equipment familiarity, and efficient technical training.

• Buoyancy control
• Situational awareness
• Safe diving habits
• Respect for marine life
• Skill mastery before certification
