Last year, the Spanish government issued order no 550 (Real Decreto 550/2020) that addresses the legal limits of SCUBA diving. The full text was published in the Federal Gazette BOLETÍN OFICIAL DEL ESTADO issue no. 177.
The first paragraph of article 18, forbids solo diving and sets a depth limit to 40 meters for recreational divers on air. The third paragraph allows technical divers to exceed the limits of recreational diving. Article 31 sets the limits for technical divers to 50 meters on air and 75 meters on trimix. At least, this is what I understood with my little Spanish.
Is this interpretation correct? I asked this question also to the Spanish TDI representative, but I got no reply yet.
