How the course works
A bridge between recreational and technical diving that needs no large time commitment. Parts can be credited to PADI Tec 40, and it counts toward PADI Master Scuba Diver. It builds on PADI Discover Tec.
Where you dive in Aqaba
Technical courses run from our boat, with twinsets and blended gases. For trimix courses helium is charged per litre, see the prices page.
