Wreck Diver
OVERVIEW
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.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
There are many different types of wrecks, some of which are protected by laws that guard their historical and cultural significance. Your training starts by reviewing guidelines for researching and respecting wrecks. Some things you’ll learn:
-Safety considerations for navigating and exploring wrecks.
-Surveying and mapping a wreck.
-Using penetration lines and reels to guide exploration.
-Techniques to avoid kicking up silt or disturbing the wreck and its inhabitants.
