Wreck Diver

Explore the captivating world of underwater history with the PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course offered by Aqua Vision. This specialty is designed to teach you the essential techniques for exploring sunken vessels, from ships and airplanes to automobiles, in a safe and responsible manner. Wrecks act as artificial reefs, attracting diverse marine life and offering intriguing glimpses into the past. You will learn how to approach these sites ethically, unlocking their mysteries and developing the skills to notice details others might miss. Understanding the history behind these underwater artifacts adds a profound layer to your diving adventures.

The course curriculum focuses on practical skills and knowledge crucial for wreck diving. Key learning objectives include techniques for exploring shipwrecks, avoiding common hazards, and researching the background of wrecks. You will also cover specific equipment considerations for wreck scuba diving and learn techniques for safely entering intact wrecks. Your PADI Instructor will guide you through planning, organizing, and executing at least four supervised wreck dives, emphasizing safe penetration and exit strategies. This specialty is often combined with the PADI Deep Diver course, as many shipwrecks are located in deeper waters, providing a natural progression for experienced divers.
