To top of page What is deep-sea diving?
When talking about diving, many people use the term “deep-sea diving”. Recreational diving doesn’t have anything to do with deep-sea diving; the “deep sea” starts at about 500 meters, a depth at which a recreational diver with conventional dive equipment would never be able to survive. Deep-sea diving is always done with submarines or special suits that can withstand the enormous pressure that occurs in the deep sea.
