DSAT Tec Deep Diver Discover Tec and Apprentice Tec Diver
Tec Deep Diver
The Tec Deep Diver course is intended for those divers with the prerequisite
experience and training needed to begin moving beyond recreational scuba depth
limits. The Tec Deep Diver course will qualify a diver to make gas-switch, extended
no-stop dives, decompression stop dives and accelerated decompression dives using
air, enriched air, and pure oxygen to 165fsw.
This is the approximate equivalent to other Training Agencies courses that would include: Advanced Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, and Extended Range, combined. The Tec Deep Diver course involves 6 Knowledge Development Presentations, 8 Practical Applications, 12 Training Dives, and 2 examinations. There are significant academic, psychological, and physical demands required of the Tec Deep Diver candidate. One should be mindful of this and objectively evaluate themselves prior to enrollment.
The Tec Deep Diver course is the finest technical diver course currently on the market. It provides the Tec Deep Diver candidate with training, structure, and support material that is without equal in the industry.

The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course is intended to extend the depth range available
to technical divers trained and qualified to use air, enriched air, and oxygen
for technical decompression dives beyond 165fsw. This course extends their depth
range capabilities by training them in the use of Trimix (helium, oxygen, and
nitrogen). The successful candidate will be qualified to dive to 245fsw using
various Trimix blends, using open circuit technical diving equipment and procedures
to manage the risk involved. The Tec Trimix Diver course consists of 4 Knowledge
Development sessions, 5 Practical Applications, 8 Training Dives, and an Exam.
Divers enrolling in the DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course that have DSAT Tec Deep Diver
