Clinton,
I don't have to impress anyone. Why the chip??
I was merely trying to get a sense of what other's believe constitutes a tech dive. To some it means one thing and to other's it means something different.
You seem to be the one how is trying to impress people by posting your *regularly* diving to 170'.
BTW, what gas are you breathing at 170??
The other reason I asked the question is because I have experienced situations wherein diver's ( ie; divemaster ) are superviding dives under the mistaken impression that it is covered under there insurance policy should something happen.
The insurance policies for Padi, Naui & IANTD only cover dives planned to 130' or less on mixes of less than 40%. Anything else is NOT covered.
I was trying to generate discussion points not impress anyone.
Later
