[Yggdrasil]

Even though I barely make decompression dives, learning the physiology and the tech mindset has helped me greatly to improve my diving skills. Leaning to properly trim and not overweight myself was a great boost to my comfort. Learning various finning styles, streamlining my gear and making a plan helped a lot as well. I'm definitely a more comfortable, safe and skilled diver due to tech training, which has helped during recreational dives as well.

I like the redundancy and extended times, plus the independence of being able to sort my own issues out rather than potentially relying on my often unknown or unreliable buddy

[blackoceandiving]

I’m a recreational instructor, planning on doing full cave eCCR training after my OC tech training. I highly recommend being a recreational instructor first before going tech. It definitely builds your confidence and especially patience. Awesome video.

[Fillmore]

Oddly enough, I actually miss the days when we spent the time to plan all of our dives with tables and depth charts, and the satisfaction that comes from closely executing our plans. I also really enjoy the science and physiology behind diving and want to bring that into my regular diving. As an older diver, I’ve moved beyond pushing my physical and physiological limits (I’ve got a few of those “pushing the limits of diving on air” dives in my past, too), but embrace technology and techniques that might allow me to safely expand the envelope in which I can comfortably operate.

I think someone should do a video on the zone between tech & a rec diver..but I dive with a [indie] twinset, use 80% mixes for deco and dive between dive recreationally using elements of tek diving...that doesn't make me a tek diver though.

[unluckyeddy]

I will admit that I would buy tech diving gear even though I probably wouldn't use it for its maximum effectiveness

[rafaeltab]

I went diving last year in egypt, that is when I got my OWD certification. I will be going again in 3 days, where I will get my AOWD certification. In the upcoming year I want to learn side mount diving, and possibly drysuit diving.

[R_T_HEIDE]

A search for a different approach to diving and long talks with a technical instructor guided me towards it. I noticed that it suited me and I progressed into cavediving.

[sebastianf.]

I enjoy the longer diving time.
I came to this when I was at the SS Thistlegorm almost 4 years ago and, as you also described, unfortunately didn't get to spend very much time down there. We had a total of three dives there with a long surface interval.
I thought that was such a waste and I would have liked to have stayed there much longer.
That was the point for me when I said I wanted to get into technical diving.
Here in the German lakes I have never been below 40m but I enjoy the longer time between 30-40m and you are further away from diving schools or normal sport divers.
I also find the time of over 2 hours very relaxing and my big dream is still the mines that you can dive in Germany.

I’ve spent a fortune on my breather just to look at catfish and bluegills 😂I love my rebreather the marine life interaction is insane

[CinematographerRDee]

Where can do I best place to tech course?

[dtt]

how being a tech diver allows you to extend your deco limit. is it the try mix

[ivoryjohnson]

I burn a lot of air COVID didn’t do me any favors Having twins made a huge difference plus I like learning the physic and theory. Yes the gear looks cool too

[willbuxton]

Hey, I’m just getting into diving - any tips for my first certificate . Also which certificates should I get next

[miks]

The wanna-be technical diver - that's me right now, verbatim.
In my defence tho - 1) I'm trying to get comfortable with the new gear 2) I need all that gear and redundancy for rec-solo diving (which I have heard referred to as a "type of technical diving") 3) there are no quarries deeper than that in my area :D 4) I do gradual, but proper tec-training with an agency and an instructor, so I do need all that gear and do need to be comfortable with it (point #1 again)

[princetandukar]

New vocabulary unlocked "Gear Fetish" 😂😂

[privateprivate]

Condesending commetes keep people alway from our sport . seems that you have a selfestime issue.
