Technical diving (also referred to as tec diving or tech diving) is scuba diving that exceeds the agency-specified limits of recreational diving for non-professional purposes. Technical diving may expose the diver to hazards beyond those normally associated with recreational diving, and to greater risk of serious injury or death. The risk may be reduced by appropriate skills, knowledge and experience, and by using suitable equipment and procedures. The skills may be developed through appropriate specialised training and experience. The equipment often involves breathing gases other than air or standard nitrox mixtures, and multiple gas sources.
The term technical diving has been credited to Michael Menduno, who was editor of the (now defunct) diving magazine aquaCorps Journal. The concept and term, technical diving, are both relatively recent advents, although divers have been engaging in what is now commonly referred to as technical diving for decades.

It's really refreshing to see such precise scuba skills. It encourages me to want to work towards the same goal. Somethings all divers should consider.
There is no such thing as perfection, but that's about as close as you can get! Well done!
Excellent video, awful music. Please repost it with another music track
While sharing air you should always hold on to each other.
Great music!!!
..I was waiting to see forward and backward rolls, holding in the same position….
The dude is goood.
this doesn't look like tech diving to me – it looks like regular DIR skills that gue and utd have been using and teaching for decades …
Great vid! That diver is skilled! BUT THE MUSIC SHOULDN'T BE FROM A DIVER WITH REGULAR IN…. TRASH SOUND!
WoW crazy techniques!
Your back kick was very good but I do a little less calf movement on the modified flutter…. just move the fins. Yes yes yes on the reg recovery! I teach this to my open water students! Put your alternate in first. Breathing first then you can take all the time you need to find your primary. I include bubble check in the s-drill and have the diver complete the turn if exiting single file.

good basic drills as advertised..however….Trimmed tech..why no H valves?
Music please?
WOW… 40 years ago I took the YMCA scuba diving class… Our instructor made sure we could do everything except for your advance trim moves…. SAD to say – these days its way to easy to get certified ! Are you using US Diver Rocket fins ? Mine are 41 years old and I still use them a lot and LOVE them
NICE!!! Good demo…. great trax. 🙂
Great video; especially useful for those, like me, who are novices but have definite ambitions to become technical divers. One question: which agency is the best place to turn to for instruction in technical diving?
Reg Replace and mask blow out are basic skills.
Most of those skills are taught in basic CMAS training. Nothing special here!
Very impressive
Smooth helicopter!
i did those kind of things in the swimming pool when i was 6 years old xD
Very cool video. Saw that many times and think it has been around for a while isn't it? Where are you guys based? Any Facebook link?
nice technical man
Looks like 5th DX to me? UTD
