Why Tech Diving?

Technical diving is defined as going beyond the limits of recreational diving, namely a maximum depth of 130ft/40m; no decompression; and always having direct access to the surface.

When exceeding these limits, the questions above become more important, and thus focus of technical dive training. A successful dive is one from which we return to the surface safely; and as we increase the risks by going deeper, longer, or venturing into an overhead environment (wreck or cave penetration) it becomes necessary to improve our skills and understanding to ensure that happens.

Technical dive training in it’s simplest form makes you a better diver through skills and theory training, awareness, and problem solving. This allows you to react better to a variety of situations, extend the limits of your diving and at the same time remain comfortable and confident in your ability to make a safe ascent to the surface.

So it’s not all about deep, dark and complicated. Technical diving is a great way to increase your safety and enjoyment of diving and at the same give you access to new sites and new experiences if you desire.

Here’s a video of some of the tech skills training in action.
