Advanced Wreck Diving

Having done Wreck Diver and not Advanced Wreck Diver is like looking into the candy store, knocking on the door and not being allowed to go inside because you don’t qualify!.

The Advanced Wreck Diver course will open that door for you and let you go in and enjoy all the fun and adventure associated with being inside the “candy store” satisfying your curiosity.

Whether it’s a contemporary wreck purposefully sunk or the real thing from a war or conflict, being inside the wreck puts you in the very place men and women served their respective country on the high seas.
