The TEC Fundamental focuses primarily on precise buoyancy control and trim, finning techniques, team awareness and controlled ascents with and without the use of a surface buoy. The basics of managing faulty equipment and the possible loss of breathing gas are trained, depending on the course plan and equipment configuration in the areas of OC back- or sidemount.

Training objectives

  • Stationary problem solving
  • Solving individual errors
  • Acquisition of fundamental, stationary safety concepts through constant practice routines
  • Basic finning methods
  • Perfecting buoyancy and trim
  • Making entry into training measurable
Limit after successful course completion
  • Diving depth depending on recreational diving certification
