Wreck Diver

Wreck diving can be exhilerating and extremely exciting. UK wrecks have an abundance of life on them, and around Plymouth with our rich maritime history, we have more of them than pretty much any where else in the world. We teach this course so that you can learn the skills to safely dive UK wrecks and even penetrate into them if you want. You will learn how to plan and organise a wreck dive, correct techniques, anti silt finning, and how to lay line so that you can safely penetrate. However if you prefer to stay on the outside of a wreck then we can still cater for you as going inside optional.

We mostly use 2 of the larger wrecks in the area. HMS Scylla and the James Egan Layne, both are renouned as 2 of the country's top dives.
