Technical Diving

Technical diving, or tec diving, takes scuba enthusiasts beyond the limits of recreational diving, offering access to greater depths, longer dives, and more challenging underwater environments. Unlike recreational dives, which adhere to safety constraints set by diving agencies, technical dives expose participants to heightened risks, including serious injury or even death. These hazards, however, can be mitigated with the right combination of advanced skills, specialized training, and experience, alongside the use of carefully selected equipment and procedures.

Tec diving opens incredible opportunities for underwater exploration, such as the spectacular dive expedition to the wreckage of the world’s first purpose-built aircraft carrier. This historic ship, sunk by the Japanese during World War II on April 9, 1942, lies at a depth of 42 to 53 meters off the coast of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. To access this remarkable site, divers must travel 20–30 miles out to sea and hold a valid diving license. Immersing yourself in history at this depth requires not only skill and experience but also specialized equipment and a commitment to safety, making it a truly unforgettable adventure for seasoned divers.
