I did it under my University Program. It was in Pulau Perhentian, 3 days 2 night just about rm6xx in total.

Not much of a reason, just wanted to challenge myself more. Just $$ issue  sweat.gif

For diving, $$ and time is always an issue. Its not a rushing thing, you have a life time ahead of diving.
by the way, specialty is not technical.
Go for advance first and slowly dive around, too many places to dive.

You need to be an AOW to do rescue. Also you need a minimum number of dives to be able to take up rescue course.

As for technical dives, you will also need some experience before you can go into it. I'm not sure about the requirements but most people I know who goes into technical are quite experienced divers. After you do your AOW and gain some experience, take up your rescue and technical. smile.gif

I'm heading towards the tec path as well. Hoping to have a chance to do cave diving. Anyone here interested?

Minimum requirements to PADI TEC 40 :

To enroll in the Tec 40 course, you must be:

A PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
A PADI Enriched Air Diver with at least 10 dives using enriched air deeper than 18 metres/60 feet
A PADI Deep Diver with at least 10 dives to 30 metres/100 feet
At least 18 years old and have a minimum of 30 logged dives
You also need to have a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.
Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply – ask your PADI Tec Deep Instructor.

I've spoken to a few Tec instructors and they said the requirements are subjective, but most of them have higher expectations on the diver. (eg. Divemaster, 200 dives, perfect buoyancy) As decompression diving is serious business, tec courses are more demanding and differ much from recreational courses. Completion of the whole course does not mean you will pass. Instructors will also take into consideration of the diver's mindset and personality.

Yeah... They have to make sure individual are fit to take the challenge. Tec is not for everyone. But for anyone who interested to learn, they can give it a try. But again... all is in the mindset of an individual whether he/she wanna do it or not only. Have a calm mindset and think logically, everything may end well...

Hints: Calm mindset... (about same like Free Diving)
