Become a certified SSI Wreck Diver.

Many of the ocean’s best dive sites are wrecks. These impressive structures attract unusually high densities of marine life and give you the chance to immerse in living history as you dive.

There is nothing quite like wreck diving and the SSI Wreck Diving specialty will give you all the skills and knowledge you need to become a safe and confident wreck diver. With a combination of academic and confined water sessions, you will be taught how to safely conduct non-penetration dives around wrecks and artificial reefs, up to a depth of 30 meters.

You will also get to practice your wreck diving skills during open water training dives. All of which will ensure you can enjoy wreck diving with confidence and get the most out of every dive.

Upon completion of this program, you will earn your SSI Wreck Diving specialty certification.

      What next?
      Now that you have the taste for exciting wreck dives, why not explore those a little deeper by enrolling on the SSI Deep Diver Specialty course. Many of the less explored wrecks lie in deeper water, which require more in depth dive planning and equipment considerations. Also the SSI Enriched Air Diver Course. Diving with enriched air rather than normal breathing air you can considerably extend your no-decompression limits.
