What is your definition of "Technical Diving"

[Anderson]

Captain Brian,

A couple question about the National Park Service definition:

Are they including standard Nitrox mixes as Technical Diving?

If a diver plans to do a recreational dive and accidentally overstays the NDL and must make a deco stop, does it then become a technical dive in their eyes?

Just curiosity on my part.

Yes any Nitrox mix is considered technical diving to the Park Service.  Accidental deco is a grey area and is not covered in the permit wording
