Why divers specialize

- Enter a different environmentBuild the control needed for colder water or structure-focused diving.
- Make a better planLearn the analysis and limits behind enriched-air use on appropriate profiles.
- Use specialized equipment responsiblyPractice the setup and emergency procedures before relying on a new configuration underwater.
