What is Tec diving

Tec Diving simply means to go beyond the limits of recreational diving, including diving deeper than 40 meters, making required stage decompression, diving in an overhead environment, making accelerated decompression and/or using different gas mixtures, or using extensive diving equipment and techniques (such as rebreather diving).

Why Tec dive with Circle Divers?

Tec diving not only involves more complicated preparation and planning, but requires more discipline, experience and diving equipment. Many spectacular pristine wrecks, reefs and interesting features lie deeper in the Tec diving range, outside of recreational limits. The life on deep reefs is different from what you find in the shallow waters.

Who is Tec diving for?

Tec diving is suitable for experienced divers who either want to go beyond their recreational diving limits or to increase their own personal skills and abilities. Some people simply enjoy the extra complexity and planning involved in tec diving.
