Technical diving has evolved a long way in the last few decades. New techniques, information and dive equipment have now made it possible to conduct dives that where not possible only a few years ago. With these new technologies and equipment proper application within the technical diver training programs is paramount.

Technical diving is scuba diving beyond the limits of recreational diving in terms of depth deeper then recreational limits, breathing gases other then air and decompression diving. Overhead environment diving such as wreck penetration diving and cave diving are part of technical diving and so is CCR Rebreather diving.

The ProTec Dive Center in Playa del Carmen Team has evolved with these changes by the constant training of our own staff. Our staff has worked hard to bring our customers the cutting edge of diving information. We are in the unique position to have been part of the evolvement of technical diving as some of our staff is conducting technical dives and in particular trimix diving since 1994. It was in 1991 that the first trimix training program came and was available to the public. We have published a number of good technical diving related articles on our Blog. Please have a look. The ProTec Dive Center in Playa del Carmen offers every level of advanced and technical diving instruction, guided diving and support to most all depths. Technical diving techniques can be used in openwater reef diving, wreck diving and cave diving applications.
