Technical Diver

A technical diver is an experienced scuba diver who uses specialized training and equipment to explore beyond standard recreational depths and conditions. Unlike casual divers, they often venture into more challenging environments such as caves, wrecks, or deep underwater areas, requiring careful planning and mastery of advanced skills. They use mixed gases, specialized gear, and safety protocols to manage risks like decompression sickness. Technical diving allows for scientific research, exploration, and access to areas not reachable by typical recreational diving, demanding higher levels of knowledge, training, and responsibility.
