What to expect
Every wreck is different. During the first phase of the PADI® Wreck Diver course, you’ll learn how to explore different types of wrecks by investigating their layout, history and hazards, and practice specialized wreck diving skills. During four dives with your instructor, you’ll survey and map a wreck, practice special finning techniques and may use penetration lines.
