Technical scuba diving is diving, other than conventional commercial or research diving, that takes divers beyond recreational diving limits. It is further defined as and includes one or more of the following:
Diving beyond 40 meters/130 feet, required stage decompression, diving in an overhead environment beyond 40 linear meters/130 linear feet of the surface, accelerated decompression, and/or the use of variable gas mixtures during the dive.
Technical scuba diving uses extensive methodologies, technologies and training to manage added risk. Typically, this means using complex equipment in situations where direct access to the surface is inaccessible due to a ceiling imposed by decompression, or physical barrier such as that found in cave or a wreck diving environments.
Technical diving is not simply exceeding the limits of recreational diving.
Exceeding recreational limits without the appropriate training, equipment and procedures in place is not technical diving. It is being stupid and irresponsible!
