What will you learn?

If you aren’t a certified tec diver, then your instructor course will include the entire Tec 40, Tec 45, and Tec 50 Diver courses as necessary. In fact, the first part of the course ensures you have a good grasp of the knowledge and skills required for technical deep diving. During the second part of the course, you practice conducting knowledge development, practical application and open water teaching segments. Your Tec Deep Instructor Trainer will also go over organisation and marketing considerations for TecRec courses.
