Tec Diving
Extend your dives beyond recreational limits!
ENJOY TEC DIVING IN TENERIFE
Technical Diving allows you to extend your diving beyond recreational “no stop” limits. This allows you to plan longer dives at shallow depths, or to plan dives to more advanced depths and locations. Technical diving allows you to greatly expand your diving skills and knowledge and can provide you with experiences and exploration opportunities in places very few people will ever see.
Increased Range
Exploring deeper than 40 metres
Increased Skills
Using specialized gas mixtures & decompression procedures
Specialized Equipment
Using highly specialized equipment, like stage cylinders and twinsets
Tec diving attracts experienced divers who want to go places other divers cannot. These types of divers usually enjoy a challenge and are willing to focus on technical diving demands. Tec divers are able to visit reefs and wrecks at depths well below the 40 metre recreational limit.
