Doubts and Questions

You NEED prior certification in Wrecks (Wreck Diver) or a recognized equivalent, plus serious experience and killer buoyancy control.

This course packs in 4 mind-blowing supervised dives over 2 days, laser-focused on penetration techniques and overhead environment mastery.

We’re talking more complex penetrations than the basic level, always within the light zone, and always following hardcore overhead diving safety protocols.

Hell no! Advanced Wreck Diver is still an advanced recreational specialty. No need for technical configurations or decompression profiles here.

Nope. We use standard recreational gear. We’ll break out the specialized penetration tools – guide line, reel – during training.

Wreck Diver gets you started with wreck diving and basic recreational penetrations. Advanced Wreck Diver is where you dive deep into structured planning, advanced guide line skills, and staying in control in more challenging overhead environments.

We roll in small, tight groups – max 4 divers. This guarantees your safety, close supervision, and gets you the most out of every single dive.
