Wreck Diver Course
This 2-Day course with 4 dives will prepare you in the procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of wreck diving.
Course Overview
A. The purpose of the PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course is to
familiarize divers with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization,
procedures, techniques, problems, hazards and excitement of
diving on wrecks. The Wreck Diver Specialty course is intended as
a safe, supervised introduction to wreck diving, with emphasis on
fun and safety. The goals of PADI Wreck Diver training are:
1. Upon completing this program, the student should be able
to demonstrate practical wreck diving knowledge, including
recognizing and avoiding potential hazards, and planning
procedures that make wreck diving fun.
2. Upon completing this program, the student should be able to
explain the historical value of wrecks, social and legal issues
surrounding that value, and describe some of wreck divings
implications, including the pros and cons of removing artifacts
from wrecks.
3. Upon completing this program, the student should be able to
plan and organize dives to safely explore wrecks found within
depths and conditions as good as or better than those he has
been trained in.
4. Upon completing this program, the student should be able
to identify the hazards of wreck penetration diving and demonstrate
the techniques and procedures required to minimize
those hazards.
B. The Elective Wreck Dive from the PADI Adventures in Diving
program may be counted toward Wreck Training Dive One of this
specialty at the instructors discretion. Similarly, Dive One of this
specialty may be counted as the Elective Wreck Dive in the PADI
Adventures in Diving program.
C . This standardized course outline was developed so that you may
conduct it on a wide variety of wrecks. It is intended to familiarize
beginning wreck divers with basic wreck diving procedures,
and divers with some wreck experience with other issues and
procedures, including historical resource concerns and penetration
diving concerns.
1. Where appropriate, you are encouraged to update and/or
expand topics to cover changes in shipwreck law, archaeology,
and other wreck diving topics.
2. You are encouraged to elaborate beyond the detail in this outline
to accommodate:
a. The needs/interests of your students, especially more
experienced ones.
b. Specific equipment and/or local wreck diving requirements.
D. The knowledge development portion of this program can be covered
during predive and post dive debriefings.
1. The presentation outline and the training dives are integrated
and sequenced to assist you in distributing knowledge development
appropriately over the briefings and debriefings.
2. If desired, you may move and/or combine presentations, or
hold formal classroom sessions, to accommodate logistical
needs.
3. Students can complete knowledge development independently
by watching the PADI Wreck Diving video, reading the
PADI Wreck Diver Manual, and completing the Knowledge
Reviews. Have students complete the Knowledge Review
Part I for your review prior to Wreck Training Dive One, and
Part II prior to Wreck Training Dive Two. By having students
complete knowledge development independently, you can
eliminate long class sessions and allow your predive briefings
to focus on elaboration, answering questions and actual dive
planning.
