During the Tec Deep courses (Tec 40, Tec 45, Tec 50), or Discover Tec experience, there are strict equipment requirements.

Discover Tec

• Primary and secondary regulators for back mounted double manifolds, one with two metre hose for air sharing and one with SPG.
• Tec BCD (wing) and harness
• Dive computer and/or depth gauge and timing device with tables.
• Exposure suit appropriate for environment and dive duration.
• Inflatable signal tube, whistle and/or other visual and audible surface signaling devices.
• Reel and DSMB - A suitable DSMB has sufficient buoyancy to help steady a diver during a drifting decompression, and is unlikely to spill when deployed from the underwater.
• Knife/cutting device and back up
• Slate
• Backup mask
• Compass
• Lights as required by the dive environment

Tec 40

• Two complete regulators, one with a two-metre hose for air sharing and one with SPG.
• One stage regulator
• BCD with D-rings or other attachment points for a stage/deco cylinder.
• Two dive computers, or one computer with a backup timer and depth gauge with dive tables.
• Exposure suit appropriate for environment and dive duration.
• Inflatable signal tube, whistle and/or other visual and audible surface signaling devices.
• Reel and DSMB - A suitable DSMB has sufficient buoyancy to help steady a diver during a drifting decompression, and is unlikely to spill when deployed from the underwater.
• Knife/cutting device and back up
• Slate
• Backup mask
• Compass
• Lights as required by the dive environment
• Backup buoyancy control (double wing or dry suit)

Tec 45

• Primary and secondary regulators for back mounted double manifolds, one with two metre hose for air sharing and one with SPG.
• One stage regulator
• Tec BCD (wing) and harness
• Two multi-gas enriched air capable dive computers, or one multi-gas enriched air computer and a back up single gas computer with dive tables, or one single gas enriched air computer and a backup timer and depth gauge with dive tables.
• Exposure suit appropriate for environment and dive duration.
• Inflatable signal tube, whistle and/or other visual and audible surface signaling devices.
