Public safety diving and military diving might likewise be classified as commercial diving because the practitioners make a living from their pursuit of diving.
Diving suits, mostly being made of compressible materials, reduce in volume as the diver descends and expand as the diver ascends creating unwanted buoyancy changes.
As the concentration of gases increases with the depth of the dive, and some gases are toxic at high concentrations, the design of breathing gas mixes depends on the depth of the dive.

Stage bottle regulators are used to extend bottom time; so many divers prefer to use a similar regulator to that used as a primary.
A stage bottle is a bottle used to extend bottom time, whereas a decompression bottle is a bottle used during the ascent portion of the dive to promote efficient decompression by reducing inert gases (e.g., N2 and He) while elevating oxygen percentages.
