Formation de Plongée sur épave PADI

The PADI Wreck Diver specialty at Nepteau is one of their signature courses, backed by a charter operation that runs to genuine wrecks in the St-Laurent and the Great Lakes. This isn't a course that ends with a laminated card and no obvious next dive — Nepteau has a full activity calendar of wreck sites to take you to once you're certified.

The course covers the skills, planning and penetration procedures specific to wreck diving. Sites in Nepteau's rotation include the America (US waters, capsized, penetration for certified divers), the Belly Dumper (steel hull at around 85 feet, wooden barges at 35 to 80 feet on the same site), the Chippewa (1920), and the Ash Island wreck near Ivy Lea in Ontario.

For divers wanting to go further, Nepteau also runs an advanced wreck programme (Épave avancé) where dives typically fall between 30 and 140 feet, with a maximum of 180 feet depending on the student's certification level. The Neptopedia section of their site covers the histories of individual wrecks in detail — the Annie Falconer (1867–1904), Eastcliffe Hall (1954), Empress of Ireland (1914), Comet (1848), Dariaw (1919) — which reflects how seriously they take the historical side of wreck diving.
