WRECK DIVING

If you are at least 15 years old and have a Advanced Scuba Diver certification or the equivalent thereof, you can take a Wreck Diver (External Survey) course and start exploring sunken vessels, aircraft, and other amazing wrecks in the underwater world. During your training, you will learn about safety, hazards and cautions, special risks of overhead environments, entanglement, limited visibility, deep diving, equipment, location of wrecks, sources of information, search methods, underwater navigation, legal aspects, artifacts, treasure, salvage, archaeology, and much more. Get ready to start exploring

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN

  • How to use a guideline to ensure that exit from the wreck is always possible
  • The importance of carrying emergency tools, in particular a dive knife to be able to free yourself it case you get caught up in line or other objects
  • Being cautious around the wreck and understanding that it can be very fragile due to the fact that the wreck will have been under water for many years. All divers are advised to pay close attention to the structure of the ship and make sure they keep their hands away
  • Carefully monitoring the gasses in your tank to make sure you always have enough breathing gas (at least one third of the total volume) available to get yourself back out

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

  • 15 years or older
  • Advanced diver (or qualifying certification)
  • Duration: 2-3 Days
  • One Classroom lecture

YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE
DEEP DIVING

Many shipwrecks are often found in deeper water. That’s why the Wreck Diver course is a natural companion to the Deep Diver course. Sometimes you can take these two specialties concurrently
