Shipwrecks
Shipwrecks offer some of the best diving available. Whether sunk as the result of an unfortunate accident or intentionally to form an artificial reef, they soon become a haven for a variety of organisms looking for a new home.
Wreck diving can be divided into two categories: external survey and penetration. External survey involves exploring the exterior of the wreck. As an entry-level diver, this is the only form of wreck diving you should attempt.
Penetration diving requires additional training and equipment because it involves diving underneath an overhead environment with no direct access to the surface. Divers who are trained for this type of diving do so with navigation lines for finding their way out of the wreck, and redundant air supplies to use in the event they run low on air.
