Tech diving

This isn't really a question about basic scuba diving, but I thought I'd post it here because I have little knowledge of most tech stuff and so I was looking for a basic overview of tech diving. Has anyone got a link to a good fairly low level overview of a few technical diving things, or are willing to write a short bit?

Thanks in advance!

In general, technical diving is viewed as diving where you have lost the surface as an option, whether because of incurring a significant deco obligation, or entering into an overhead environment.

As soon as you lose the surface as an option, you simply cannot afford any situation where you MUST abort a dive. That means planning your gas so you don't run low; ensuring redundancy in your equipment so that you can compensate for almost any failure, and developing an approach with your buddies where you are capable of helping one another deal with any kind of exigent situation you might encounter. Technical training is designed to teach both the skills and the composure to plan a dive adequately, equip that dive rationally, and cope with reasonably foreseeable problems.
