Wreck Diver

The Wreck Diver specialty course at Ocean First Education offers a deep dive into the techniques and considerations for exploring underwater historical sites. This program typically involves at least two open water dives, allowing students to practice essential skills such as navigation, site assessment, and safe entry and exit procedures for wreck environments. Participants will learn about the unique hazards associated with wreck diving, including entanglement, silt-outs, and structural integrity, while gaining practical experience under the guidance of certified instructors. The course focuses on developing the judgment and skills necessary to safely plan and execute dives on submerged vessels, enhancing your overall diving knowledge and capabilities.

While specific dive site details are best confirmed directly with Ocean First Education, their location in Boulder, Colorado, suggests that practical wreck diving training might occur at specialized inland sites or require travel to coastal areas known for accessible wrecks. The center is certified by multiple agencies including NAUI, PADI, SDI, and SSI, offering flexibility in certification pathways. Ocean First Education also conducts training in both English and Spanish, catering to a diverse range of students. Their commitment to education is evident in their specialty course offerings, designed to build confidence and competence in various diving disciplines.
