Wreck dive

Wreck diving

Wreck diving is a specific type of scuba diving. Most wreck diving is done on shipwrecks, but wrecks of aircraft are also commonly explored by scuba divers. There is also a lesser number of more exotic wreck which are dived upon, ranging from train and buses to collapsed naval radar stations. All scuba divers require some form of training, but many divers engage in additional training before diving on wrecks. Wreck diving is often subdivided into three types:

  • Non-penetration, i.e. swimming over and around the wreck.
  • Limited penetration, going into an overhead environment, subject to a limit of 130 feet/40 meters cumulative linear distance to surface (ie. depth plus length of penetration).
  • Full penetration, going deeper into the overhead environment in the wreck.

This is a one day program:

  • We meet in the morning at hotel (time – depend of hotel), transfer to boat
  • At abou 9 AM we depart. The lenght of the boat journey is dependent upon the dive spot, between 30 min – 1 hour
  • The dive spot can only be announced on the day, because it is dependent upon the wind, therefore, please be understanding, as safety comes always first
  • Basics theory (arabic, russian, english or german languages) and then takes you for a proper dive, to give you a taste of diving and a chance to participate in the underwater world
  • After first dive, lunch will be served and a break for 1-2 hours. Enough time to relax, sunbath, snorkeling
  • The second dive will take place at a different dive spot
  • Around 4PM we will go back to the port and then transfer to the hotel
