PADI TecRec: Push the Limits of Scuba Diving in Vietnam
For some, the standard 30-meter recreational limit is only the beginning. If you find yourself wanting to stay longer at depth or explore the mysteries that lie beyond the reach of traditional scuba, the PADI TecRec program is your gateway. Technical diving involves going beyond recreational "no-decompression" limits, utilizing specialized equipment and multiple gas blends to safely explore the deep. At Rainbow Divers, we treat technical diving with the extreme precision it requires. We don’t just teach the skills; we instill a mindset of discipline and self-sufficiency that is essential for every "Tec" diver.

Our Technical Diving Course Offerings
We offer a structured path into the world of deep exploration, allowing you to build your skills progressively.
PADI Tec 40: Your Entry into Decompression Diving
The Tec 40 course is the transition from recreational to technical. You will learn to use decompression software and dive computers to plan and execute dives with no more than 10 minutes of total decompression, down to a maximum depth of 40 meters. You’ll learn to rig a stage cylinder and manage the added complexity of a technical gear configuration.
PADI Tec 45 & Tec 50: Deep Exploration
For those ready to go further, the Tec 45 and Tec 50 courses introduce accelerated decompression using pure oxygen or EANx. These levels prepare you to dive to 50 meters, managing multiple stage tanks and complex emergency procedures. This is the training required to truly explore the deep pinnacles and hidden sites off the coast of Nha Trang.
Technical Equipment & Gas Blending
Technical diving requires specialized gear, from backplates and wings to redundant regulators and manifolds. At Rainbow Divers, we provide top-tier technical equipment and professional gas blending services, including Enriched Air Nitrox and Oxygen.
The "Electric Nose" and Deep Sites of Nha Trang
Nha Trang offers unique opportunities for technical divers. Sites like Electric Nose feature deep drop-offs and currents that are perfectly suited for Tec exploration. By extending your bottom time and depth limits, you get to see a side of the Marine Park that very few divers ever witness. If you have the discipline and the drive to explore the "deep blue," the PADI TecRec program at Rainbow Divers is your next frontier.
PADI TecRec
The fascination + intrigue of Tec Diving over the last 10 years worldwide has opened the doors to many experienced divers to explore the wonders beyond the Traditional Recreational Limits.
Many divers feel the need to dive deep for the sake of it. Whilst this is not necessarily a great philosophy, at least PADI have recognised the need for structured TecRec training courses to allow divers ‘to learn how to’ and to minimise the associated risks.
We offer Nitrox, Deep , Sidemount + Self Reliant.
