Recreational scuba diving can be described as diving only to prescribed depths of no more than 130 feet, eliminating the need for a decompression. Compressed air is used.

Every diver will need to go through an Open Water course to start their diving career. From there you can further your curiosity and skills with Technical Diving, Public Safety Diving and specialties like cave diving, dry suit diving etc.

Tec, Tech, Tek, Technical Diving…no matter the name used, all it means is diving beyond the conventional parameters of recreational diving. Tech Diving requires dive experience, advanced training, special equipment and often uses mixed gases/enriched air beyond normal air.

Technical Diving is challenging, but also more rewarding. The majority of divers dive for recreational purposes but the skills and advancement into tech diving, you can experience longer, deeper dives, and explore parts of the ocean others cannot. Think shipwrecks, entering caves, or extensive coral reefs for example.
