Default Re: technical diving

IMHO tech isn't about going deeper or carrying more gear (in fact you'll see plenty of rec divers carrying more gear). And it's defintiely not about sinking faster

I'd say it's about attitude; leading to gear choice/set-up, trying to be prepared for all eventualities/self-sufficient while part of a team of similarly-minded people (or diving solo); and about valuing practical experience over certification

As far as getting there, I'd start with becoming a good rec diver, then finding a good instructor with tech experience
