Technical Diving Courses
TECHNICAL DIVING is defined as the diving which surpasses the conventional limits from the recreational diving. It includes at least one of this points:- Deep superior to 40 metres.
- Necessary decompression stages.
- Diving in a confined environment over the 40 metres from the lineal entrance.
- Accelerated decompression and/or the use of variable mix of gases during the dive.
Due to the fact that in technical diving, the direct access to surface in case of emergency is unreachable, the tec divers use new methods and techniques, and increase their formation to manage the added risks. Certainly, even all these things, tec diving has more risk, initial danger and shorter critic mistake chains than recreational diving.
Tec is the “extreme” part from diving and it´s practised by divers with enough experience and formation to go deeper than in recreational diving.
Tec diving is characterized by the use of more equipment and by the formation requirements to manage the additional risks that this equipment implies.
Tec diving is not for everybody, but for those who hear the challenge call, the PADI TecRec courses are the answer. Tec diving is not restricted to thepeople who take high risks. It is just an easy and a logic option to the adventure diver.
