What has "you need a drysuit" to do with a dive being classified as technical?
Open water diving in green water country during wintertime can easily be almost as cold as ice diving, and virtually everyone up here dives dry. Does that mean that our diving should be classified as technical?
Here where I live, (mid-north part of Sweden) we mostly have 6*C in the summer, if you drop below 8-10 meters. So most divers i know dive in a drysuite. I am a beginner diver, and all my dives in Sweden has been in a drysuite.
In the winter we always have ice. Most winters I keep a hole to dip myself when taking a sauna, but then I go nude. ;-)
Now, if you ever do a nude ice dive, that would be rad!
