Technical diving is scuba diving’s “extreme” sport, taking experienced and qualified divers far deeper than in mainstream recreational diving. Technical diving is marked by significantly more equipment and training requirements to manage the additional hazard this type of diving entails.

They’re not easy – nor would you want them to be for this kind of diving.

Scuba Gear for Technical Divers
Technical diving, involves diving beyond the normal limits of recreational scuba diving. Participating in tec diving requires additional experience, training and (of course) equipment. In recreational diving you use one scuba tank but tec divers typically wear twin cylinders, plus one or more additional ones under their arms, each with different gas blends. They usually have two or more completely independent regulators and dive computers, as well as other backups to regular dive gear. |
