Technical Diving allows you to extend your diving beyond recreational \u201cno stop\u201d limits. This allows you to plan longer dives at shallower depths, or to plan dives to more advanced depths and locations. Technical (tec) diving allows you to greatly expand your diving skills and knowledge and can provide you with experiences and exploration opportunities in places very few people will ever see:<\/p>\n
Increased Range – Exploring deeper than 40 metres\/130 feet
\nIncreased Diving Environments – Diving in\u00a0 caves, shipwrecks or other special environments
\nIncreased Skills – Using specialized gas mixtures\u00a0 and decompression procedures
\nSpecialized Equipment – Using highly specialized equipment, like a closed or semi-closed circuit rebreather[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1613927674302{background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
