Abstract
In the world of recreational scuba-diving, you can earn your Deep Diver Specialty Course by paying US$175 and completing two open-water dives down to depths of between 18 and 40 m. For some divers, however, the 40-m limit prescribed by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is not deep enough. Fortunately, for those wishing to venture deeper, there is the world of technical diving.
