Tec diving: not only for big guys !



In the past it was believed that Tec diving was only available for big and strong men. With the involvement of PADI into the activity, the new structure of the Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50 and the extreme popularization of Tec diving among young PADI professionals, people like lovely pocket-size PADI Instructor Maddy Thiebaud decide to get double tanks on and enjoy the thrill of deep decompression diving. Congratulations Maddy and welcome to the Tec family !

Once again we had a agreat time with Trimix Instructor courses at UDC. This super specialized and technical level of diving, only reached by about 300 PADI professionals worldwide is available at UDC.
