Why do Wreck
Diver Course?
Are you interested in history, a photographer, or an underwater
naturalist?
Or do you
just want the excitement of exploring on the ships claimed by
the sea, and particually in UK waters such as Brighton, Scapa Flow, Malta, Bikini Atol to name a few?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions above, then
the Wreck
Specialty Course is what
you need.
For as long as there have been
divers and shipwrecks, there have been wreck divers. There are
so many diving opportunities on shipwrecks in the UK and beyond
that divers are interested in shipwrecks for a variety of reasons
such as;
Mystery and
curiosity:
Shipwrecks have always fascinated divers with their mystery.
When a diver approaches a shipwreck there is a feeling of curiosity.
How did it get there? What was it carrying? What men once lived
and worked here?
History:
Increasingly, the remains of sunken ships tell marine archaeologists
about man's history. A wreck diver willing to research archives
may find the history of a favourite shipwreck and add to it by
sifting through clues on the wreck itself.
Aquatic Life:
Shipwrecks quickly become artificial reefs (some ships are sunk
intentionally for that reason). These wrecks attract new underwater
life & provide new habitat. In many areas, shipwrecks are
among the best places to observe aquatic life.
Photography:
Thanks to their structures, the life that inhabits wrecks tends
to attract photographers trying to catch the perfect shot
