TECH, properly spelled "Tek," is a marketing concept invented by Michael
Menduno (publisher of Aquacorps).  Before he popularized this term for various
advanced techniques used by leading divers in the cave and wreck community,
"technical diving" was just diving.  Now it is a sexy lifestyle where, with
the appropriate certification, you too can get it "hard, deep, and not often
enough."

P.S.  In all fairness, I think we can thank Menduno for bringing this stuff up
from the underground, and for allowing people to teach it (and sell
specialized gear) without fear of losing everything in court.
