Specialty Courses

The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course is popular because it offers rewarding adventures while observing responsible wreck diving practices.
If you're at least 15 years old and have earned a PADI Adventure Diver certification or higher, you can enroll in the Wreck Diver Specialty course.
Your training starts by reviewing guidelines for researching and respecting wrecks. You'll also learn:

• Safety considerations for navigating and exploring wrecks.

• Surveying and mapping a wreck.

• Using penetration lines and reels to guide exploration.

Through hands-on training during two scuba dives and guidance from your PADI Professional, you'll discover:

• The PADI SEA (Shoot, Examine, Adjust)method for getting great shots quickly.

• Principles for good composition of underwater images.

• Practical techniques to take great photos with your digital camera.

During two dives learn about the natural habitat of the Lionfish. You will also learn about the threats they pose as an invasive species. In this course you will also train to safely eliminate them by using a sling spear.

Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You've seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought. They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings.
You can achieve this, too. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level.

During two dives you will learn how to identify different turtle species common to the area. You will also learn about conservation efforts and the ways you can help reduce the loss of sea turtles worldwide.
