PADI Wreck Diving Specialty Course

Whether purpose-sunk as an artificial reef for scuba divers, or lost as the result of an accident, wrecks are fascinating windows to the past. Ships, airplanes and even cars are fascinating to explore and usually teem with aquatic life. Each wreck dive offers a chance for discovery, potentially unlocking a mystery or spying something others have missed.

The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course is popular because it offers rewarding adventures while observing responsible wreck diving practices.

If you’re at least 15 years old and have earned a PADI Adventure Diver certification or higher, you can enroll in the Wreck Diver Specialty course.

It is important that you are comfortable in water, that is too deep to stand and capable of treading water for 10 minutes, swim 200 meters of any style, and physically fit to dive medically. Click here for our Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire.
