Technical diving involves going beyond the limits of recreational diving, requiring specialized training and equipment. Technical Diver certification covers skills for diving deeper and longer, often utilizing mixed gases like trimix. This certification is for those who wish to explore shipwrecks, caves, and other challenging environments. Notable destinations for technical divers include the Blue Hole in Belize and the deep wrecks of Truk Lagoon in Micronesia. These sites offer the depth and complexity that technical divers seek, providing a platform to push the boundaries of underwater exploration safely.
