Technical diving

From a technical diving ( also Technical Diving, TecDiving, Tek Diving, tech diving etc.). Various forms of advanced recreational diving together, where additional or special diving equipment is applied. The transitions from non- technical to technical diving are fluid and depend, among other things, the fixing diving organization. The techniques used are, among others, from the professional diving and scientific diving.

Devices

Basically, the normal diving equipment for deep and prolonged dives is required. However, this is expanded and partially modified:

There are some of special gas mixtures used, for example, several breathing mixtures such as trimix, nitrox, heliox and hydreliox be used or different gas mixtures for different phases of the dive are used as Travel Mix, bottom gas and deco gas. It must be noted that the mixtures, especially the bottom gas ( for the deepest part of the dive ), due to their low oxygen content, partly on the surface can no longer be safely breathed (about 16 % oxygen).

In addition, in the breathing apparatus between rebreathers - the so-called rebreathers - and a mixed gas equipment from regulator and dive computer (special mixed gas computer ) are selected. Even home-built or converted respirators are used and basic facilities for the wet decompression as well.

Often additional Bottles ( Stages ) can be used with various gas mixtures, such as cave diving.

When historical diving helmet diving equipment and hose equipment used. A special accessories are also wet, rarely dry underwater vehicles (eg underwater scooter, aqua scooter or dip slide). For special dives for example, also leader lines - used - in cave diving and wreck diving, ice diving as safety lines. For underwater use are, naturally, in some cases, survey equipment or Leash ago.

Comments

  • Some dive destinations and dive sites such as the Ertauchen from great depths of caves or wrecks are popular areas of technical diving due to the increased difficulty and the charm of something special.
  • The increased risks of some dives can be minimized by knowledge, experience, training, preparation and equipment as possible. More than in recreational diving paying attention to the redundancy of the vital pieces of equipment, ie most equipment (diving equipment ) are two-fold (or multiple) available and tested.
