Open Circuit Technical Diving
Open circuit technical diving is an advanced form of scuba diving that pushes the boundaries of underwater exploration. It is a specialized discipline that allows divers to venture into greater depths and more challenging environments, offering unique experiences and opportunities for underwater discovery. Unlike recreational open circuit diving, which focuses on leisurely exploration within recreational limits, technical diving requires specialized training, equipment, and procedures to ensure safety and success.
Rebreather Diving
Rebreather diving represents a remarkable advancement in scuba diving technology, revolutionizing the way divers explore the underwater world. Unlike traditional open circuit scuba diving, which relies on a constant supply of gas through a regulator, rebreathers recycle and reuse exhaled gas, offering extended dive times, enhanced gas efficiency, and a host of other benefits

I have used or seen a wide variety of weird, wacky, or wonderful ideas/configurations over the course of my rebreather career.

One of the major causes of standards development in the CCR [...]
Drysuit Diving in Tropical Waters
Drysuits in the tropics, from a ludicrous idea to serious debate where the state of things currently sees more and more people diving dry in warm tropical water but why? Most of us know the advantages of diving in a Dry Suit for cold waters, but do the same benefits stack up when diving in Tropical Waters? The short answer is an emphatic YES! In fact, my position is that the advantages of diving dry are independent of the climate and in this article, I will aim to explain how those benefits will apply broadly to your diving, and if you are a technical diver, is almost a must to have Having originally learned to dive and being the envy of my classmates during the final stages of training in a drysuit I have always seen the benefit of using this type of specialized exposure suit. While working in [...]
