Wreck Diving / Advanced Wreck Diving

What is the purpose of the SSI Wreck Diver course?As a diver, you should get to know the environment in which you dive. Wreck diving has different requirements than, for example, drift diving or deep diving. In the SSI Wreckdiver course, you’ll learn about ship types and wreck types in general, as well as the specific requirements and hazards. This will allow you to dive a wreck more safely.What is the difference between the SSI Wreck Diver and the SSI Advanced Wreck Diver?The SSI Wreck Diver course lasts 1 day with 2 wreck dives, and you do not dive inside the wreck.The SSI Advanced Wreck Diver course lasts 2 days and includes 4 wreck dives. You’ll also learn how to safely enter a wreck, navigate an overhead environment, and use line exercises to orient yourself inside a wreck.How long is the course?Wreck Diver: 1 day (theory via e-learning in advance and on-site) 2 wreck divesAdvanced Wreck Diver: 2 days (theory via e-learning in advance and on-site) 2 wreck dives, line exercisesShipwrecks are like fascinating windows into the past. Every wreck offers a variety of opportunities to discover something special—and perhaps even to unravel a mystery surrounding that wreck. Wreck exploration requires the use of reels and spools, as well as solid dive planning—you’ll learn all of this in this course. Wrecks don’t necessarily have to be sunken ships; even in our area, there are interesting historical underwater sites, such as the legendary “Edersee Atlantis” or the outpost boat in Messinghausen.We are passionate wreck divers—so-called “Rust Heads”—and explore wrecks worldwide; here’s a small sample of our wreck dives. Here, experienced wreck divers talk about their enthusiasm for wreck diving:
