Start Your Tec Diving Journey with Confidence At Diving4you
Step into the world of technical diving with the PADI Tec 40 and Tec Sidemount Diver bundle, the perfect combination for divers ready to go beyond recreational limits. This bundle provides the foundational skills for technical decompression diving while teaching you how to configure and manage multiple cylinders in sidemount style — improving your balance, flexibility, and gas management.
Whether you're planning to continue to Tec 45/50, explore overhead environments, or simply want greater control and safety, this is the most versatile and practical way to begin.
Why Combine Tec 40 and Tec Sidemount?
The PADI Tec 40 course is the entry point to technical diving. You'll learn how to dive beyond 40 meters with limited decompression, use one stage/deco gas, and plan safe dives with backup gear and redundancy.
The Tec Sidemount Diver course teaches you to configure and dive with two to six cylinders, mounted along your sides. Sidemount improves streamlining, buoyancy, and cylinder management— ideal for tight environments and tec diving.
Together, this bundle gives you the skills, setup, and confidence to enter the world of tec diving prepared and properly equipped.
