Deep Diving - Deeper than the generally recognized recreational diving
limit at 135 feet of seawater.
Decompression Diving - At combined depth and duration exposures
requiring mandatory decompression stops.
Cold Water Diving - Diving in water temperatures less than 50° F (10°
C) may require special techniques to avoid conditions that could result in
freezing conditions inside regulators and valves. Training should include
problem avoidance techniques and emergency procedures for dealing with
uncontrolled gas flow from the regulator or valve.
Cave or Wreck Diving - Diving in any situation that provides an overhead
environment requires knowledge of the hazards associated with such an
environment and specialized configuration of your diving equipment
including the proper set up of the alternate breathing supply. Failure to
observe recommended practices could result in death or serious injury.
