Tech Diving: The One Percenters
Pushing the boundaries of what's possible underwater
What is Technical Diving?
Technical diving goes beyond recreational limits. It involves decompression diving, mixed gas breathing, overhead environments, and specialized equipment. Tech divers are the one percenters of the diving community, pushing boundaries while maintaining rigorous safety standards.
From CCR (Closed-Circuit Rebreather) diving with units like the Hollis Prism 2 eCCR to deep air and trimix operations, technical diving demands advanced training, experience, and equipment mastery.
