Wreck Diver specialty

A Wreck Diver specialty focuses on the skills needed to explore sunken vessels or man-made structures. This training is useful because it covers how to manage your buoyancy near tight metal walls. You often dive at depths between 18 m and 35 m while managing overhead environments. Many divers find this course essential when visiting sites like the SS Thistlegorm in the Red Sea.

Watch your fins. A common mistake is kicking too hard near delicate silt or rusted metal because it ruins visibility for everyone. I once saw a student stir up a massive cloud of sand at a wreck in Cebu. Always use a frog kick to keep the water clear. This technique helps you stay stable while you move through narrow openings. It keeps the silt on the bottom.
