According to IANTD, what is the maximum depth recommended for recreational diving without additional training?

The maximum depth recommended for recreational diving without additional training is 30 meters (98 feet). This depth is widely accepted in various dive training agencies, including IANTD, as the limit for recreational divers. Beyond this depth, divers face increased risks associated with nitrogen narcosis and the effects of higher pressure on the body. Additionally, diving deeper requires specialized training to manage the complexities of deeper dives, such as controlled ascents and decompression management, which are essential for ensuring diver safety. Consequently, staying within the 30-meter limit allows divers to safely enjoy the underwater environment while minimizing potential hazards that arise in deeper conditions.
