Technical diving standards

Technical diving standards are established guidelines that ensure safety and consistency for advanced diving beyond recreational limits. These standards cover equipment, training, planning, and procedures for challenging environments like deep, overhead, or mixed-gas dives. They emphasize thorough preparation, proper equipment configuration, contingency planning, and continuous skill development. Following these standards helps divers manage risks associated with complex dives, ensuring that they operate within proven safety practices and maintain competence in handling emergencies. Overall, technical diving standards serve to protect divers and improve the safety and success of complex underwater explorations.
