Technical Diving

M's Diving Adventure offers advanced technical diving programs, including PADI Tec40, Tec45, and Tec50 courses, designed for divers seeking to push the boundaries of recreational diving. Technical diving involves exploring depths beyond 40 meters, utilizing accelerated decompression, and potentially using various gas mixtures. This training is rigorous and requires a significant commitment to safety, equipment knowledge, and dive planning.

The Tec40 course introduces divers to accelerated decompression procedures using oxygen, allowing for shorter decompression stops. It builds upon the foundation of recreational diving, teaching the principles of gas planning and equipment configuration for deeper dives. The course involves classroom sessions, confined water dives, and open water dives to practice these advanced techniques.

Building on Tec40, the Tec45 course further expands capabilities by teaching the use of multiple gas mixtures (more than two types). This allows for more efficient decompression profiles, reducing the time spent at specific depths and minimizing physiological stress. The course emphasizes meticulous planning and execution, preparing divers for complex dives.

The Tec50 course represents the highest level of PADI technical diver training, enabling divers to perform extended decompression dives using multiple gas mixes. This course is for those who want to explore the extreme limits of technical diving, requiring extensive experience and a deep understanding of gas physics, physiology, and dive planning. The center highlights its unique approach, focusing on using technical diving for exploration and photography, making it accessible for specific goals beyond just depth.

These courses require participants to have specific prerequisites, including a minimum number of dives, relevant certifications (like Enriched Air Diver and Deep Diver), and a medical fitness statement. The fees cover instruction, confined water, open water dives, application fees, and rental equipment for basic gear, though participants are expected to have their own primary equipment. M's Diving Adventure's expertise in technical diving, including sidemount and rebreather training, makes them a leading facility for this specialized training in Japan.
