Want to safely explore sunken ships, crashed planes and hunt for lost treasures
beneath the surface? Then the PADI Wreck Diver program is just want you want.
To venture into PADI's Wreck Diver program, you'll need to be at least a PADI
Adventures In Diving or Advanced Open Water Diver, and be at least 15 years of
age.
During your PADI Wreck Diver program you'll go on four open water dives where
you'll put in to practice the information you gain from your instructor and from
the PADI Wreck Diving Manual and video.
Information contained in your program includes:
The planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of
wreck diving.
The preparation and use of lights, air supplies, special equipment, penetration
lines and reels.
Limited-visibility diving techniques and emergency procedures.
Wreck penetration-training dives are limited to within the light zone and within
40 meters (130 feet) from the surface, vertical and horizontal distance included.
If the wreck used for training is located in deep water (over 18 meters or 60
feet), the Deep Diver rating is recommended as a prerequisite for the Wreck Diver
program. The elective wreck dive conducted during the program may count toward
this specialty at the discretion of the instructor.
To explore the many kinds of treasures hidden beneath the surface, stop by
Sharky's Scuba and sign up for the Wreck
Diver program today.
