Wreck Diving You drift down and pass through a window into the past. As you near the bottom, a recognizable shape begins to form. First, you see a straight line, then a round window. Next, a ship materializes in front of you. As you look at the wreck, past and the present meet. Whether sunk intentionally or tragically, whether a sunken ship, a plane or an automobile, the call of wrecks is nearly irresistible to divers.  Whether your first or your hundredth dive on a wreck, you will sense the mystery and exhilaration of discovery. In some cases you see changes from one dive to the next as the wreck gradually evolves from a work of humanity to part of the underwater world, while in others a wreck seems timeless –you age and change over the years, but it doesn’t. Through this course, you get the skills, knowledge and procedures you need to answer the call of wreck diving.

Dry Suit Diver Specialty Getting cold while diving does not have to be a necessary part of your adventures! Just replace your wetsuit with a dry suit! It is the ultimate way of diving, especially during those chilly winter months. A dry suit keeps you warm by trapping air between your body and the suit. The warmth further increased by a layer of undergarment that is similar to ski undergarments. During this class you will learn the proper care and use of a dry suit first in our pool, than in the ocean.
