George,

If he means the BSAC course you really don't want to know...If he just 
means diving it may also be BSAC speak for more than recreational depths 
(ie 35-50m) rather than 'technical' which is beyond 50m. This comes from 
the BSAC regs saying that you can dive to a max depth of 50m (hence 
beyond that is technical in there opinion).

For most people sticking to the BSAC stupidities Extended Range probably 
means deep air, steel stages, 80%, bungieing the long hose...
Don't jump to hard on him, he may not recognise the implications of his 
BSAC training yet,

Ady,
Go look at the wkpp and gue websites if you haven't done so yet, get on 
the quest list as well.
