PE60

The PE60 (Plongeur Encadré 60m) course at Tech of Plongee is an advanced certification designed for experienced divers aiming to explore depths up to 60 meters under direct instructor supervision. This program involves four practical dives, meticulously planned to address the unique challenges of deep diving. You will gain proficiency in advanced decompression strategies, essential for managing extended bottom times safely. The curriculum also emphasizes sophisticated gas management techniques and a thorough understanding of the physiological impacts associated with diving at significant depths. The theoretical component delves into principles of hypoxic Trimix diving and advanced emergency response protocols, ensuring a robust foundation for deep exploration.

This course is structured to build confidence and competence for supervised dives to 60 meters. Participants will learn to navigate the complexities of deep environments, including managing gas mixes and executing precise decompression profiles. The practical sessions are conducted in locations chosen for their suitability for supervised deep diving, potentially including local shipwrecks that lie within this depth range. The focus is on developing the skills and judgment necessary to undertake such dives safely and effectively, fostering a high degree of trust between the student and instructor.

Tech of Plongee offers this advanced training with certifications from recognized agencies including FFESSM, SDI, and TDI, providing a globally respected qualification. The center operates in French, catering to a specific segment of the diving community. While specific details on instructor-to-student ratios or vessel types are not provided, the PE60 certification itself signifies a commitment to rigorous training standards. The course fee is set at 300 EUR, with equipment rental not included in this price, allowing divers to use their preferred gear.

Upon successful completion of the PE60 course, you will be qualified to join guided dives reaching 60 meters. This opens up access to a new category of dive sites, often featuring more challenging topography or historical wrecks that are inaccessible to less experienced divers. This certification represents a significant step in a diver's technical progression, preparing them for further specialized training or for participating in advanced exploration activities under expert leadership. It requires a solid grasp of fundamental diving principles and a readiness to embrace the responsibilities of deep diving.
