What is technical diving?

Before someone tells you to do a search, technical diving is a form of sport (non commercial) diving that goes beyond traditional recreational limits such as 130ft depth, overhead, specialty mixed gasses, rebreathers etc.

You will find more than one definition but this is the one that is most often used:

Technical diving is diving for recreational purposes that involves diving below a physical or virtual ceiling, such that the diver may not, at any time during the dive, make a direct, uninterrupted, vertical ascent to the surface.

yep, usually the definition includes an overhead, either real or virtual (deco).

Brass tacks, Tech diving is anything beyond recreational diving.
It can include wreck penetration diving, caves, deep, mixed gasses, decompression and a myriad of other things.
It is the term mostly used to differentiate more serious diving from recreational stuff.
