Whether intentionally sunk as an artificial reef for scuba divers or lost as the result of an accident, a wreck is a fascinating window into the past. Exploring ships, airplanes, and even cars is a fun way to connect with aquatic life. Every wreck dive offers the opportunity to discover mysteries that others may not have seen yet. The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course is popular because it offers rewarding adventures while practicing responsible wreck-diving techniques. If you hold a PADI Adventure Diver certification or higher and are at least 15 years old, you can enroll in the Wreck Diver Specialty course.
