	diving leisure tec (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		We established diving leisure tec in 2005, recognising that technical diver training is distinct and separate from recreational diver training and that to properly train people for the challenges of the technical diving arena it needs the dedicated focus of a separate training system.
		Recreational diving is generally defined as diving within the 40 - 45m range (depending on training agency), in an open water (i.e.
		These "advanced recreational" programmes essentially straddle the line between technical and recreational diving; on the one side is the traditional recreational community and on the other side, the dedicated technical diving community.

	Recreational diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Recreational diving is a type of diving that uses SCUBA equipment for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment.
		However, for much of the 1950s and early 1960s, recreational scuba diving was a sport limited to those who were able to afford or make their own kit, and prepared to undergo intensive training to use it.
		Technical diving and use of rebreathers are increasing, particularly in areas of the world where deeper wreck diving is the main underwater attraction.

	Diving (underwater) - MSN Encarta
		The most common form of diving is sport diving, or recreational diving, which is practiced at depths of less than 130 ft (39 m).
		All groups, whether diving from a boat or from shore, are required to fly a diver down flag (a red flag with a white diagonal slash) to alert boaters that people are underwater.
		Diving equipment depends on the location of the dive, but whether scuba diving or snorkeling, recreational divers need several basic items: a mask, a snorkel, fins, and, when necessary, an exposure suit to remain warm.

		Recreational diving is a type of diving that uses SCUBA equipment for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment.
		Technical diving and use of rebreathers are increasing, particularly in areas of the world where deeper wreck diving is the main underwater attraction.
		Generally, recreational diving depths are limited to a maximum of between 30 and 40 meters (100 and 130 feet), beyond which a variety of safety issues make it unsafe to dive using recreation diving equipment and practices, and specialized training and equipment for technical diving are needed.

	About SCUBA Diving (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		When you are "Diving with SCUBA" this indicates that you are using equipment that is completely carried by the diver and not connected to the surface, hence self-contained.
		Diving was revolutionized by the development of a workable demand regulator, co-invented in 1943 by Jacques Cousteau and Emil Gagnan.
		Technical diving is the term for all diving that exceeds recreational limits but is not engaged in for profit.

	Technical Diving and Specialties
		Although the basic skills required in technical diving are the same as in recreational diving, the level of performance and precision warranted in the performance of the same is exponentially higher, in what can quickly become a very unforgiving enviroment.
		This course is an extension of recreational diving designed for the use of single tanks.
		Promoting students to continue training or diving in the overhead enviroment beyond this level is a violation of NACD ethical standards.

	Recreational Scuba Diving: An Overview
		By contrast, each recreational dive is planned so that the diver can ascend continuously to the surface without encountering decompression sickness; the diver is still decompressing on the way up, but doesn't have to stop to allow further decompression.
		SSSA diving is limited by the strength of the air compressor, the length of the hose and, as in scuba, the level of diver training.
		In principle SSSA diving is the same as professional helmet diving, except that the depths are generally less, no helmet is worn by the diver, only compressed air is used (professionals may used mixed gases), and the amount of surface support (i.e., other people on the surface) may be minimal to none.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Technical Diving
		Technical diving is a term used to describe all diving methods that exceed the limits imposed on depth and/or immersion time for recreational scuba diving.
		The type of gas mixture used is determined either by the maximum depth planned for the dive, or by the length of time that the diver intends to spend underwater.
		The fact that such dives are often conducted at great depths and for extended periods of time increases the risks associated with them.

		Lastly maybe we have a budding new dive professional but the candidate is not old enough yet - you have to be 18 years of age to become a PADI dive professional and hold a dive job.
		Many dive masters will have enjoyed their time working on boats and leading dives, assisting with dive students and planning dive logistics and now feel that it is time for the upgrade to the instructor certification.
		Dive employment is easier to achieve as an instructor as many dive operators employ PADI instructors to cover some of the duties of a divemaster also.

	EANx for Recreational Scuba Diving (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		If a diver were to dive the same profiles that he had done while using air using an enriched air mixture instead, not only would the decompression be significantly less but there would be an overall reduction of nitrogen in the body.
		This dive plan does not require any decompression stops on the first dive (the 3-5 min safety stop is taken) but requires a very long 18 minute mandatory decompression stop for the second dive.
		If you imagine a typical dive vacation where a diver may be diving two to three times a day for five or six days, it is easy to see that the benefits of using enriched air nitrox become quite significant for either extending bottom time or by reducing required decompression.

	Genesis Scuba Dive Institute of Florida - Frequently Asked Questions
		Recreational Diving is scuba diving which permits the diver to directly ascend to the surface, and is simple in the dive plan and logistics of the dive.
		Technical diving is diving that requires training beyond recreational levels and requires more in depth dive planning and logistics.
		Recreational divers follow NDL limits by use of a dive computer or dive planning table and bottom timing device such as a watch.

	Dixie Divers, Inc.; Grant of Permanent Variance - 64:71242-71261
		Dixie's recreational diving instructors accompany students during practice dives, which vary in depth from a few feet of sea water (fsw) to 130 fsw, and last between 30 minutes and one hour.
		Diving guides (who may also serve as recreational diving instructors) lead small groups of trained sports divers to local undersea locations for recreational purposes; the guides select the diving locations and provide the sports divers with information regarding the dive site, including hazardous conditions and safe diving practices.
		While Dixie's recreational diving instructors and diving guides could use dive-decompression computers for this purpose, we believe that such computers are unnecessary because the divers will be diving within no-decompression limits, and the technical capability of dive-decompression computers exceeds the requirements of no-decompression dives.

		Factors to be taken into account include the level of the recreational certificate, the recency of the recreational certificate and of the last dive, the diving experience of the diver, and current fitness to dive.
		If the dive supervisor has doubts as to the training, experience or safety consciousness of the diver, the diver should be asked to complete a detailed questionnaire and sign an undertaking to perform appropriate safety activities when required.
		It is difficult for dive supervisors to assess competence based on a certificate, because of the varying standards and terminology that are used by the certifying agencies.

		Waiting 12 hours after recreational or training dive activities is not the local practice and, as far as I know, there have not been any reports of decompression sickness (DCS).
		For multiple dives per day or multiple days of diving, a minimum preflight surface interval of 18 hours is suggested.
		For dives requiring decompression stops, there is little evidence on which to base a recommendation and a preflight surface interval substantially longer than 18 hours appears prudent.
