The lure of exploring sunken vessels, airplanes is something most divers can't resist. The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course introduces you to wreck diving and helps you develop the skills and knowledge necessary for safe and fun wreck diving.
Wreck penetration-training dives are limited to within the light zone of the wreck. If the wreck used for training is located in deep water, over 18 metres, the Deep Diver rating is a recommended prerequisite for the Wreck Diver program.
