Advanced Wreck Diving
Discover what’s involved in entering a wreck. You’ll practice with guidelines, navigation, and communication, and learn to carefully plan your dive and gas supply. The emphasis is on control and safety in overhead environments where you cannot directly ascend.
What can you expect?
Advanced Wreck Diving is a specialty program designed for divers who want to further expand their wreck diving skills. This specialty training focuses on penetration techniques and procedures within wrecks up to a maximum depth of 30 meters or a linear distance of 40 meters, utilizing special equipment and procedures in an overhead environment.
Wreck penetration requires specific planning, adapted safety procedures, and precise control. During this program, you will learn how to safely enter a wreck, manage navigation, and correctly assess risks.
The focus is on safety, situational awareness, and controlled penetration.
