The lure of exploring sunken vessels, airplanes and automobiles is something most divers can't resist. The Wreck Diver Specialty course introduces you to wreck diving and helps you develop the skills and knowledge necessary for safe and fun wreck diving.
What's involved?
Being a wreck diver means being organised, and because wreck diving often results in diving in poor or no visibility you will need to plan your dives down to the very last detail by reviewing emergency procedures, techniques, problems & the hazards that can occur in wreck diving. You will become familiar in the preparation & use of lights, air supplies, & the special equipment like penetration lines & wreck reels.
What do I need to start?
Wreck penetration-training dives are limited to within the light zone and within 40 metres/130 feet from the surface, vertical and horizontal distance included. If the wreck used for training is located in deep water (over 18 metres/60 feet), the Deep Diver rating is recommended as a prerequisite for the Wreck Diver program.
Big Blue provides all equipment, boat trips, manuals, etc., for the duration of the course.

Typical Diary of the Advanced Course
Day 1: 10:00-11:30: Your Instructor will offer you details on all the available dive 'Adventures' that you could choose for your Advanced Course in addition to the 2 core dives Navigation & Deep. Once we have chosen your 3 other dive options then we'll start talking about each area individually & in depth so you get a good understanding of what you are about to do 1pm-17:30: You'll go out in the afternoon on the boat & do 2 dives- your Navigation dive & 1 Adventure dive.
Day 2: 7:00-12:30: Early start but well worth it as today is the day you'll be diving down to 30 meters before breakfast on your Deep dive and then we got 1 more Adventure dive to do that morning.
18:00-20:00: We'll head out to White Rock for the best night dive in Koh Tao as we check out the giant barracuda in full hunting mode. Then its back to shore for your Advanced Open Water certification that enables you to dive to a maximum depth of 30 meters, the equivalent height/ depth of a 10 storey building!
