𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝗰: 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗔𝗗𝗜’𝘀 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗥𝗲𝗰 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 PADI has just released its long-awaited TecRec update, specifically focused on its introductory tech diving program; the original version was released in 2001. The new open circuit courses, Tec 40, Tec 45, and Tec 50, are, in fact, a completely new rewrite replete with the latest diving science & safety considerations and the option to add trimix—the original courses were conducted with air/nitrox. InDEPTH’s Editor-in-Chief and longtime industry observer Michael Menduno dives into the TecRec program and offers a prognosis. “This October at the annual Diving Equipment & Marketing Association (DEMA) tradeshow, PADI released a long-awaited update to its open circuit “TecRec” program, which was originally launched in 2001. Specifically, the training juggernaut has completely rewritten its introductory courses to tech diving, i.e., its Tec 40, 45, and 50 courses that serve as the gateway between recreational and technical diving.  The update incorporates the latest diving science and thinking on topics such as gas density, gradient factors and deep stops, the helium penalty, whether oxygen is narcotic, dive planning software, and more. It enables divers to do their training in sidemount or backmount, adds additional “dry” practice session options into courses, and now offers trimix as a gas option beginning at 40 m/130 ft—originally the program was air and nitrox only.” Read the full article in InDEPTH: https://lnkd.in/dSNrQUH7 Photo courtesy of PADI #technicaldiving #PADI #TecRec #review #opencircuit #techdiving #InDEPTH #GetDeeperIntoDiving

Make it a habit to train and learn always. Your future self will thank you!   As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure safety and improve diving activities in Nigerian territorial waters. We have ordered the immediate hold down of SCUBA diving activities and the use of uncertified divers. All illegal divers without certificates shouldn’t be part of our diving activities, they should cease to be members of NAPROD because the association is a professional body. You can’t be a member without first being certified as a professional.   The newly reconstructed NAPROD and Diving Governing Board can’t accept it because the international stakeholders are keen to see if truly we mean what we are campaigning for. Illegal divers (Without Certificates) in NAPROD are directed to vacate any position immediately. The newly remodeled road to the safe sector is achievable. Let's work together for a safer and more efficient diving sector.

Hi LinkedIn! Short story about what diving has taught me 🌊 When I first started scuba diving, I was thrilled to become an Open Water Diver—the first certification that opens up a world of underwater exploration. I thought, “Great, I’m ready to tackle the depths!” But little did I know, the real journey was just beginning. {little context. You can get certified as an open water diver and an advanced diver on the same day if you wanted to} I was eager to advance to the next level. Advanced scuba diver. But I thought to myself, am I really and advanced diver? Have I mastered all the skills, do I have the experience it takes to, LITERALLY, navigate these waters? And so I decided to wait. 2 years in fact! And let me tell you, it was the best decision! When I became an advanced diver I was so confident about my skills and about what the strong currents have taught me that I knew I was up for the challenge! The point here isn’t just about scuba diving; it’s a lesson applicable to so many areas, including sales. In both fields, there’s often a rush to reach the next milestone or achieve the next level of success. We want immediate results and rapid advancements.

So, whether you’re aiming to be an advanced diver or a top-tier salesperson, remember: *It’s the journey, the patience, and the ongoing effort that truly make you advanced.* Let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the process and not just the end goal. 🏆 What lessons have you learned from your own journey?

In the realm of diving, the proficiency to deploy a Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) is an indispensable skill that often does not receive the attention it deserves. However, this fundamental technique is paramount to the safety and success of any diver. It is not an exaggeration to say that mastering the deployment of an SMB can be the difference between life and death in certain scenarios. At our #dive center, we emphasize the significance of this skill throughout our training programs. During their time with us, our #Divemaster candidates engage in numerous training sessions focused on #SMB deployment. These sessions are structured to provide ample opportunities for practice, coupled with constructive feedback to enhance each candidate's proficiency and confidence. The process of deploying an SMB may appear straightforward, but it requires meticulous attention to detail, situational awareness, and the adept application of techniques to execute it seamlessly. Our seasoned instructors ensure that every candidate not only learns the theory behind SMB deployment but also becomes adept through practical, hands-on experience in controlled environments. If you are an aspiring professional diver or simply looking to sharpen your diving skills, we invite you to join us at Tenerife’s premier dive center—the official number one destination for diving excellence.
