PADI DSAT TEchnical Dive training

These courses take you past recreational diving and immerses you in the world of technical diving. You'll learn how to safely plan dives to depths of 50 meters/165 feet, for bottom times of 20-30 minutes, and
use up to 100% oxygen for accelerated decompression. The PADI Tec Deep course will allow you access to deeper dive sites, including wrecks, and also allow you to extend your bottom times past no decompression limits. The PADI Tec Deep is a series of courses; Tec 40, Tec 45, and Tec 50. There are many exciting sites in Puget Sound that are off-limits to recreational divers which we take you to during the PADI Tec Deep course, both on reefs and deep wall dives.

rescue diver course = $350

who should take this course? Every diver!

Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.


The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills. Topics include:

  • Self rescue
  • Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
  • Emergency management and equipment
  • Rescuing panicked divers
  • Rescuing unresponsive divers

The PADI Open Water Diver course is designed to develop the knowledge and skills required to plan and conduct (with a buddy) open water, no decompression dives. The course has three primary components - knowledge development, confined water training, and open water training. The knowledge development portion of the course covers topics such as dive science, dive techniques, dive planning, and scuba equipment. The confined water training portion of the course allows the student divers to apply their knowledge by learning and practicing basic diving skills in a pool or pool-like environment. Finally, the open water training portion of the course provides student divers with a supervised transition to diving in the open water environment.
