Chapter 11- Technical Diving Technical Diving 255 SUMMARY Technical diving will undoubtedly continue to grow in popularity as new equipment technologies and frontiers are discovered. More widely available training programs will probably develop as well. Thousands of divers have been trained in the use of enriched air nitrox. Scuba divers can easily add EANx diver training as it is offered by many NAUI Instructors as part of their initial training and as a specialty course. Technical diving emphasizes responsibility, detailed dive planning and preparation, self-sufficiency, and knowledge of personal limitations. This may prove to be a whole new field that recreational divers might consider if they have the proper background and training. FIGURE 11-8.
