 Tec
Rec is a new PADI programme that caters to the increasing market

diving.
With the introduction
of Tec Rec, qualifying PADI instructors now have access to technical
diving courses based on valid instructional design and the proven
PADI system.

As the prerequisites and
performance requirements necessary to qualify to teach tec rec programes
are tough, now is the time to prepare yourself.
Why
TEC REC? (Top
of Page)
In order to maximise your skills and become more employable as a PADI
instructor, it will benefit you to consider specializing in one of the
fastest growing areas of diving, whilst maximizing your personal job satisfaction.
Imagine a daily routine
that is more than teaching confined and open water training dives to non-certified
students. Teaching nitrox and rebreather courses to experienced divers
is a way to keep the excitement in your job whilst preparing yourself
for the tec rec specialty, the future of diving.
Or just going deeper…….
How To Prepare Yourself
Asia Divers IDC resort offers full NITROX Instuctor and Rebreather
Instructor training.
NITROX
Instructor (Top

Enriched air equals longer bottom time, therefore Nitrox diving is becoming
more and more popular around the world. Enriched air offers more than
that though. Knowing how to use Nitrox will open up many doors for you.
Any technical or decompression
diving with gas switches such as in the TEC REC Deep course, requires
a solid foundation on how to use blends with even more than 40 % oxygen.
Being a Nitrox instructor enables you to teach Nitrox courses thus increasing
your opportunities. If you haven't done so already, you must first take
part in an Enriched Air (Nitrox) specialty course.
During the
Nitrox specialty course you will learn the theory behind Nitrox diving,
how it increases your bottom time, advantages and disadvantages of Nitrox
diving and actually dive using Nitrox.
During the Nitrox specialty instructors course you will be trained by
a PADI course director. You'll learn how to teach Nitrox theory as well
as supervising Nitrox dives. You will gain more experience in academic
presentations and increase your overall diving knowledge and confidence.
- The course takes 2 days
and after this you get 1 aditionnal Nitrox dive for experience.
The package costs $US400 which includes both student and instructor
courses as well as the 8 extra nitrox dives.
Not included in the package but required are the Nitrox student crew
pack, PADI Nitrox Instructor outline and application fee to PADI.

Rebreather
Instructor (Top

How a rebreather works is very simple. Already more than 120 years ago,
Henry Fleuss, a self-taught engineer, believed that there had to be a
way to make the diver independent of the air hose and the pump.
|
Fleuss reasoned that if the diver could carry a supply of oxygen
and an alkali to remove carbon dioxide, he could eliminate the air
supply from top side.
The first rebreather
was born........
Later, around 1911, Dr Drager began developing more advanced rebreathers
in Germany. In 1942 the first recreational use of rebreathers took
place by Hans Hass.
|
Today
rebeathers are smaller and more compact. This is the dolphin unit you’ll
be using during training!!
As Nitrox has become commonly available, the semi-closed rebreather is
NOW accessible to the average recreational diver.
The PADI rebreather specialty instructor course will provide you with
training from a PADI Course Director on how to teach this specialty course.
You’ll have a close look on how to organize the confined sessions
and the Open Water training dives, which require direct supervision, and
how to teach the academic portion of this PADI programme.
The course will also provide you with in-depth information on how to prepare
and maintain the rebreather unit. Making 3 dives on the Dolphin unit,
while discovering and familiarizing with a complete new way of diving,
will make it much easier for you to market this specialty programme.
Our course director can
even take you a little further into this new experience, and teach you
more about gas blending and decompression procedures.
As the prerequisites are
tough, don’t waste any more time!!
