The PADI Wreck Diver Course with AQUASUB SCUBA DIVING CENTRE

The PADI Wreck Diver course is designed to provide divers with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely explore and navigate shipwrecks. The course covers topics such as how to plan and execute wreck dives, how to safely penetrate wrecks, and how to use specialized equipment for wreck diving.

During the course, you will learn about the history of wrecks, the various types of wrecks, and the potential hazards associated with diving on wrecks. You will also learn about the techniques for mapping and navigating a wreck, and how to safely penetrate a wreck while minimizing damage to the site.

To enroll in the PADI Wreck Diver course, you must have a minimum of the PADI Adventure Diver certification or equivalent, and be at least 15 years old. The course typically includes both classroom and practical sessions, and culminates in several open water dives where you will apply the knowledge and skills you have learned.

The PADI Wreck Diver course is an exciting opportunity for experienced divers to expand their diving knowledge and skills, and to explore the fascinating world of shipwrecks. However, it is important to remember that wreck diving can be a hazardous activity, and should only be attempted by divers who are properly trained and prepared.

Ships, airplanes and even cars are fascinating to explore and usually teem with aquatic life. Each wreck dive offers a chance for a new discovery.
