PADI Tec 60 CCR is the second level of PADI technical Type T closed-circuit rebreather training. It extends qualified Tec 40 CCR divers toward dives as deep as 60 metres/200 feet while introducing more demanding decompression work. PADI highlights multiple decompression stops, life-support problem management, and the use of trimix or heliox as diluent, so the course is about disciplined planning and response, not simply reaching a bigger number on a depth gauge.
This course is for divers already qualified as Tec 40 CCR Divers on the specific Type T CCR used for training. PADI also lists substantial experience requirements, including at least 150 logged dives, 25 dives and 50 hours on the relevant CCR with offboard bailout experience, and 10 logged CCR dives deeper than 30 metres/100 feet. Manufacturer requirements and equivalent certifications may also matter.
Training usually includes advanced dive planning, CCR failure drills, bailout strategy, decompression management, and supervised dives that demand strong team discipline. Around High Springs, Florida, it is a serious next step for divers preparing for deeper CCR technical projects. Successful students should finish with a stronger command of life-support decision making, diluent planning, and decompression procedures on their specific unit.
