Wreck diving means different things to different divers. Some are drawn to the mystery of the ship. Where did it come from? Who sailed aboard her and what happened to them? To others the wreck is an artificial reef where all manner of life congregates and thrives in these man-made niches.
For some divers hovering along the outer surfaces, checking out the ship and the life that know calls it home makes for a wonderful dive experience. For others, however, the adventure lies in penetration...exploring the ship from the inside! To penetrate a wreck is to be in a surreal environment. Stairs go sideways, portholes look at the bottom, companionways that once connected the whole vessel suddenly become dead ends where bulkheads have collapsed. You will be in a place where down is up, left is down and your reel becomes your best friend.
The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course will teach you the skills, knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems, hazards and the shear enjoyment of wreck diving. You will develop practical knowledge of the shipwreck environment, raise your awareness of the historical value of wrecks and the social and legal issues surrounding that value, and learn skills that will enable you to plan and organize dives to safely explore wrecks within the limits of recreational diving.
