In my opinion, this is pure arrogance.

Yes, tech training is rigourous. But the challenges of tech diving demand more rigour in relation to dive planning and execution.

This does not mean that recreational divers are not 'real divers', however! That is like saying that people who drive cars but who have not taken a Tactical Driving Course (to avoid terrorists or kidnappers) is not a 'real' motorist.
