PADI Wreck Diver September 2023
We will be running the PADI Wreck Diver course on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th September.
The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty shows you how to safely dive on a piece of history. Wrecks are a lure to many divers. Wrecks provide a challenge, a mystery, and are usually teeming with aquatic life.
Whether sunk on purpose as an artificial reef or the result of mishap, wrecks open fascinating windows to the past. Most divers find wrecked ships, aeroplanes and even cars/trucks nearly irresistible because they’re intriguing to explore, exciting avenues of discovery, and usually teeming with aquatic life. The PADI Wreck Diver course teaches you the ins and outs of rewarding, responsible wreck diving.
You will need to do a small amount of home study before the course, this is all now done with the digital PADI home study eLearning material. You don’t need to come to the shop to get the course arranged and access your digital home study, this part of the course can all be arranged via email and phone call, but of course we would be happy to see you here at the centre to fill all of the paperwork out before hand, you will need to fill out the standard RSTC Medical form and standard PADI Continuing Education forms prior to the dives.
Due to water temperatures in St Andrews all year round at depth, we strongly advise you to be drysuit trained for the Deeper dives, where it can drop to 7-8 degrees at 30m. However if you want to do the deeper dives in a wetsuit, it is your choice, but you WILL be cold at depth, please accept we may stop your course if we think you are too cold to continue. The shallow dives at Wraysbury can be done in either a wetsuit or drysuit.
St Andrews requires that we book your entry tickets into the site, we will need to do this ahead of time, please confirm your space by booking onto the course, we will request the lake entry fee be paid by either cash or bank transfer only. The lake is easy enough to drive to and back in the day, eliminating the need for costly accommodation, please note that the entry fee costs are not included in your course fees.
We advise you to have a torch for the deeper dives.
