Technical diving, a form of diving that is not permitted by recreational divers, is an exception to the rule. It is generally done for nonprofessional purposes and poses more risks. These risks include increased dangers of serious injury, death, and even death. Below are some tips to help you stay safe when tech diving. Continue reading to find out more. Also, we'll be talking about closed-circuit electronics and TecRec. After reading this, you will be ready to go.
TecRec
If you have already been certified and are interested in learning more about tech diving you may want to sign up for a TecRec class. If you complete the Discover Tec, this course will teach you basic tec diving in confined waters. Along with the training you will receive, you will also learn how to use certain gear and techniques to be able dive in TEC configurations.
PADI Tec 40
PADI Tec40 is the next logical step for divers wanting to expand their horizons into deeper dives. This course teaches divers advanced techniques in augmented air, nitrogen, higher mixed gas ratios, and also includes enriched air, decompression diving with EANX 50. You will also be able to practice decompression software. The goal is to make it safe for divers to dive to 40 meters without risking decompression illness.
Cave diving
Tech divers can cave dive, which is a thrilling adventure beyond horizontal scuba diving. They can dive into caves up to a thousand feet using open-circuit Scuba. Each stage is controlled by a separate regulator. They only use one-third to three percent of each cylinder for exploration. When they leave a cave, they take the used cylinder with them and secure it for later use. They also use a single maincylinder, which requires two independent regulators. Four stages allow a diver to go half a mile deep into a cave.
Closed-circuit equipment
Michael Menduno in 1991 invented the term "technical dive". It refers to a range of techniques and equipment configurations that are used to increase human diving's capabilities. In the beginning, most technical diving efforts used open-circuit configurations, which were selected for their availability, reliability, and flexibility. Open-circuit equipment is becoming increasingly popular, and is the preferred choice for many scuba divers.
Ability to adapt to changing situations
Tech diving involves knowing the basics of decompression theory as well as gradient factors. While the majority of teams prefer to use one decompression method, a larger portion of the tech community is shifting towards dual-phase models. The most important thing is to fully understand what parameters your chosen model assumes for traveling between waypoints. And how to modify these parameters if an unexpected circumstance arises. Adapting to new situations while tech diving is essential for safety.
Gear configuration differences
Gear configurations can make a difference whether you dive for recreational reasons or to pursue a career as a technical diver. One reason is that technical divers need more equipment to solve deep diving problems. Divers in this category typically have multiple cylinders of gas, regulators and cutting tools. While these equipment may look similar to recreational diving, they are made for specific purposes.
