ADVANCED WRECK DIVER TRAINING
Wreck exploration is progressive in both the techniques you adopt and the extent of your exploration.
There comes a time in a divers career where swimming the outside of a particular wreck isn’t enough and an overpowering urge grows within to explore those stairwells and hatches which lead to the bowels of the ship. Curiosity is what makes us tick, and its this basic instinct that creates this urge to explore, for the untrained and compulsive life expectancy can be short, for the trained and well organized the rewards can be immense and life expectancy normal.
Recreational agencies like PADI offer basic wreck training, these courses are a great way to get you started on wreck exploration, but they are only enough to give you basic skills and knowledge, it takes bottom time and advanced skills to safely penetrate a wreck. Technical diving agencies like TDI do offer generic Advanced Wreck courses, which take the student through the skills and knowledge to required to satisfy ones curiosity.
MIKHAIL LERMONTOV ADVANCED WRECK DIVER TRAINING GROUND
Having completed many hundreds of hours diving on one of the most penetrable wrecks in the world and experiencing an increasing demand for advanced dives, has prompted me to write my own Advanced Wreck diving outline that focuses on this type of wreck environment. The course will be specific to wrecks like the Mikhail Lermontov and will focus on skills that not only apply to the Lermontov, but to any other wreck within the 45 metre depth range. Students who successfully complete this course will receive a PADI Distinctive Advanced Wreck Diving Specialty rating, will have completed 4 dives on the Lermontov and have advanced buoyancy skills while kitted out with tools required for advanced wreck diving.
Go Dive will be offering the new Advanced Wreck diving course from August, there are some advanced pre-requisites required as well as equipment requirement’s, so nows the time to start preparing for it. If your interested in finding out more email me on info@godive.co.nz to register your interest.
