Underwater diving is the practice of descending below the water's surface to conduct underwater activities. In ambient pressure diving, the diver is exposed to the pressure of the surrounding water, and uses breathing apparatus for scuba diving or surface supplied diving, or when freediving, will breath-hold. The saturation diving technique reduces the risk of decompression sickness after long duration deep dives.
Technical Diving: Divers are limited by the number of tanks they use during the dive. Some exceptional dives have been for over 18 hours. Clearly a great deal of planning is required for these types of dives. More routinely Technical Divers often go to 150-250 ft with durations around 90-120 minutes. Rebreather Diving: A rebreather (as described here) removes the gas limitation, but imposes a limit on the duration of the scrubber material. Based on the construction of the rebreather, this is usually between 3 and 11 hours.
