What is Technical Diving?
PADI Tec Diver courses are open-circuit TecRec courses. They encompass entry-level technical diving up to a level sometimes referred to as “extended range” technical diving. By definition technical diving (tec diving) takes divers beyond the limits of recreational diving.
However, divers increasingly choose to dive using technical diving equipment within the recreational diving range, making technical diver training popular even with divers who have no desire to dive in technical diving environments.
The general dive community definitions are:
• Recreational scuba diving is defined as no stop diving with air or enriched air nitrox
to a maximum depth of 40 metres, or during penetration dives, within the natural light zone and no more than a total linear distance of 40 metres from the surface.
• Technical scuba diving is diving other than commercial or research diving that takes
divers beyond recreational limits. It is further defined as and includes one or more of
the following: diving beyond 40 metres, required decompression, diving in an overhead environment beyond 40 linear metres , the use of variable gas mixtures during a dive, and/or the use of scuba technologies that require discipline, thought, training and attitude beyond that required by recreational divers
