TECHNICAL DIVING is an advanced form of scuba diving that involves going beyond the limits of recreational diving. It typically includes dives that exceed the traditional depth and time limits, require specialized equipment, and involve complex dive plans. Technical divers undergo extensive training to manage increased risks and use gas mixtures other than regular air, such as nitrox or trimix, to handle the effects of deeper dives. Technical diving allows for exploration of deep wrecks, caves, and other challenging environments, it requires a high level of knowledge, skill, and equipment preparation.
