Like any hobby, you have those who participate on an occasional basis and are quite happy to dive to 30m with a single tank and have no aspirations to go deeper. You have those who are a bit "keener" and will continue to develop their diving in a way that suits them, Nitrox, decompression, helium and the like and these divers enjoy the extra complexity, to them it is all part of their interest.
I am often surprised by comments that our Club is a "Techie" Club - nothing could be further from the truth. We have many more single tank divers that tech divers, but, as is usually the case, it is the keener, verging on obsessional divers that are on the boat each week, on the forums during the week and who are more prominent that those who dive perhaps a dozen times a year at most.
We cater for both easily, the technical divers are just as happy in 25-30m with twins and a stage of O2 spending an hour or more on the dive as those with a single 12 and a 30 minute bottom time. "Technical" does not have to mean "Deep".
I honestly think that there is a large (and growing) demand for Technical diving in the UK and abroad. After all, if PADI's "Tech-Rec" courses are anything to go by, they think so too!
