Les plongées d’interventions de courte durée à moins de 60 m et à point de départ de la surface sont bien connues au point de vue technique; les plongeurs sont constamment approvisionnés en air à la pression correspondant à la profondeur de la plongée et ils remontent à la surface par paliers pour éviter que la brusque décompression de l'air provoque l'apparition de bulles dans le sang ou dans leurs tissus. La plupart des travaux exécutés en haute mer, mais en eau peu profonde et pour des profondeurs intermédiaires sont réalisés de cette manière. 2, record 3, French, - plong%C3%A9e%20d%26rsquo%3Bintervention

Started in the form of cave diving, technical scuba diving takes divers beyond the typical recreational limits and allows them to do more. Typically, one or more of the following has to occur for a dive to be considered technical diving: -Diving beyond 40 metres/130 feet deep. -Required stage decompression. -Diving in an overhead environment beyond 40 linear metres/130 linear feet of the surface. -Accelerated decompression and or the use of variable gas mixtures during the dive. 1, record 4, English, - technical%20diving

Il est difficile de dire où commence la plongée technique. Pour certains, cette pratique commence lorsqu'un plongeur cesse de respirer de l'air comprimé et oriente ses plongées avec des mélanges gazeux, comme le NITROX ou le TRIMIX, qui peuvent changer d’une manière importante le profil de la plongée-en augmentant le temps de fond [...] ou la profondeur de la plongée. [...] Pour d’autres [...], la plongée technique définit simplement un plongeur [qualifié] qui peut [pratiquer] la plongée en caverne [ou l'exploration] d’épaves [...] 1, record 4, French, - plong%C3%A9e%20technique

La nage en eau vive : qu'est-ce que c'est? [...] C'est un sport de glisse qui se pratique en rivière. Le nageur est équipé d’un flotteur et de palmes, il se propulse à l'aide des jambes mais surtout à l'aide du courant. Il s’agit donc d’une technique de nage, proche de la plongée ou de la nage avec palmes mais aussi d’une technique de rivière proche du kayak. 6, record 6, French, - nage%20en%20eau%20vive
