Listen to whats being said.
In reality there is no clear line between "recreational" diving and "technical" diving. Some divers are conducting essentially recreational profiles on trimix. Some technical divers are conducting extremely precise dives in relatively shallow water.
It's all simply diving. As your dives become more complex, you require more equipment to safely execute your profiles. Issues often occur because each additional bit of gear that you take down with you potentially adds stress. Stress builds up incrementally. Eventually a point is reached where the diver is task-loaded to the extent of their ability to deal with each separate bit of gear - deco tanks, scooter, multiple lights, reels, etc.
Add just a little more stress than the diver can tolerate, (which can come from anything: the environment, a current, another diver, a silt-out inside a wreck, etc.) and the diver is beyond their ability to handle the accumulated stress and task loading.
But the same events can challenge a spearfisherman at 80' as well as a wreck penetration taking place at 180'.
Just as stress builds up incrementally, so does the ability to deal with stress. Over time and with lots of practice and experience you will develop the capacity to handle larger and larger amounts of task-loading.
Take your time and, as Lamont suggested, simply work on diving - your basic skills, communications, navigation, dealing with surface issues, dealing with other divers, dealing with boats, simply gain a wide variety of experience.
When you're 18 all the rest of that task-loading will still be there waiting for you.
(Oh, and you might want to start saving some money also...)
Dive safe,
