Technical diving is a form of scuba diving that exceeds the typical recreational limits imposed on depth and immersion time (bottom time).  Tec diving involves accelerated decompression and/ or the use of variable gas mixtures during a dive. Therefore, this advanced method of diving requires additional experience, training and equipment.

NAUI has long understood that its members crave deeper exploration and unspoiled aquatic life available beyond the recreational discipline. Hence, NAUI started the Technical Diving Division in 1997 with the goal of creating a higher standard of training.  NAUI’s training policies assure divers the highest instructor quality in order to provide the skills, knowledge and training required to manage this advanced level of diving, all while minimizing risk.
