Why PADI Wreck Diver
The lure of exploring sunken vessels, aeroplanes and automobiles is something most divers can't resist. The PADI
Wreck Diver Speciality course introduces you to wreck diving and helps you develop the skills and knowledge necessary
for safe and fun wreck diving.
What do I need to start?
PADI Adventure Diver certification (or qualifying certification from
another organisation) plus the minimum age is 15 years old.
What will I do?
The information contained in your wreck diver program includes:
The planning, organisation, procedures, techniques, problems and
hazards of wreck diving*. The preparation and use of lights, air
supplies, special equipment, penetration lines and reels together with
limited-visibility diving techniques and emergency procedures.
There are four open water dives taken over two days.
Wreck penetration-training
dives are limited to within the
light zone and within 40
metres/130 feet from the
surface, vertical and horizontal
distance included.
If the wreck used for training is
located in deep water (over 18
metres/60 feet), the Deep
Diver rating is recommended
as a prerequisite for the Wreck
Diver program.
