Technical diving can be defined as either diving to depths deeper than 130 feet / 40 meters or dives in an overhead environment with no direct access to the surface or natural light. Often technical dives also include planned decompression carried out over a number of stages at the end of the dive. This type of diving requires different gas mixes and equipment and more training.You can find the links to these training agencies here.

No matter how many open water dives you have, attempting cave-diving without the proper training is just about as dangerous as playing Russian roulette.
