The Tec 45 certification qualifies you to make limited decompression dives using air, enriched air and oxygen to a depth of 45 metres/145 feet or less. Certification as a Tec 45 diver qualifies you to use a single decompression gas of up to 100 percent oxygen to make your decompression more conservative or to accelerate your decompression.

Sund Rock Shore Dive June 20, 2009
Sund Rock is a private dive cove in Hood Canal boasting two walls (North Wall and South Wall) that house many wolf eels, giant octos, lingcod, rockfish and more. Beyond the wall you’ll find gardens of sea whips. Past the North Wall there is a recent wreck of a fishing vessel. It is well protected from current but large incoming tide exchanges can stir up the water a bit. Visibility tends to be less than 20 feet, but that is plenty of visibility for this area. Meet at 4:00 splash at 4:45!
Titlow Beach Shore Dive June 13, 2009
The main diving attraction at Titlow is the spectacular piling breakwater that has been over grown by plumose anemones and a host of other sea life. This breakwater has been nicknamed the Cathedral by divers in the area. Though shallow (30-40ft), the view is beautiful and there is a large variety of fish and invertebrates at this site. There are also some short 1-4ft high shelves scattered in 35-45ftsw a couple hundred yards to the south of the cathedral that frequently house wolf eels and giant octopus. The shelves are quite long and interesting to explore once you are finished with the cathedral. Meet at 8:30 AM - Splash 9:15.
