The PADI Specialty Wreck Diver provides diver training to allow the divers to learn how to explore and safely navigate around a wreck. This course includes four Adventure Dives and four fun dives.
Generally wreck dives are conducted one wreck dive per dive trip so it will take around 4 days in order to complete the PADI Specialty Wreck Diver program. During this time the diver will also enjoy 4 other reef dives
(Variations of this schedule are available. In some cases it may be possible to do both a morning trip and afternoon trip within the same day, thereby shortening the completion time)
*Students should wait at least 18 hours after their last dive before flying.
In order to do a PADI Specialty Wreck Diver Program each candidate must complete the medical statement.
A doctor’s certificate is NOT required if the diver can answer ‘NO’ to all of the questions.
