About the Course
Most divers find wrecked ships, airplanes, and even automobiles nearly irresistible. They’re intriguing to explore, exciting avenues of discovery, and typically teeming with aquatic life. The Wreck Diver course teaches you the ins and outs of rewarding, responsible wreck diving, allowing you to experience these relics for yourself.
The Fun Part
The fun part of the Wreck Diver course is visiting wrecks, leading to many unique dives for you to share with your friends and family.
