Wreck Diver
There are hundreds of wrecks a short drive from Blue Horizons, some of the most exciting diving adventures anywhere. The Wreck Diver Specialty course introduces divers to wreck diving and helps develop the skills and knowledge necessary for safe and fun wreck diving. The best classroom for this class is right here in our backyard – more divable wrecks than anywhere in the country. Our instructors have logged thousands of dives on wrecks off Jersey, and around the world. This is true adventure diving.
This Specialty certification also counts as one of five Specialty certifications required for Master Scuba Diver certification.
Prerequisites
- PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
- Minimum age: 15 years old
- Deep Diver Specialty certification is recommended as a prerequisite for the Wreck Diver program, as wrecks used for training may be located in deep water (over 18 metres/60 feet)
