CCR Advanced Wreck Diver

Why take part in the course? 

Wrecks are unusual, silent witnesses of tragedies that have taken place throughout history. Wreck diving can take us to completely different times. Diving around wrecks was an option for you until now and it gave you the opportunity to admire the battlefields and float around these steel giants. The IDF CCR Advanced Wreck Diver course will give you a glimpse into the interior, where small abandoned objects are silent witnesses of personal tragedies that happened on board. The specificity of closed circuit dives makes such dives different from advanced open circuit wreck dives. Knowledge of the advantaged and disadvantages of closed-circuit rebreathers will allow better use of their capabilities during difficult penetration dives. Secrets are waiting to be discovered, and appropriate training will give you all the tools you need to experience great adventures!

What will you learn?

During a very intensive training consisting of an extensive theoretical and practical part, you will learn more about wreck diving. You will learn how to plan expeditions and how the search for new units looks like, as well as how to plan decompression and safe limits during wreck penetration. In the practical part of the classes you will practice various methods of searching for a wreck underwater and assessing its condition, which will decide whether you will be able to do penetration.
