Wreck diving
Wreck diving is classed as both recreational diving and technical. The clue is in the name and it involves searching wrecks….not only ships, but planes, cars anything that was once above the surface and unfortunately is now resting on the seabed in a watery grave. Now before we go on, although wreck diving can be exciting and fun, it is also very dangerous. You need to be confident of your capabilities as well as the restrictions and dangers that come with entering a wreck that’s been laid bare to the elements for many a year …
“I am absolutely enraptured by the atmosphere of a wreck. A dead ship is the house of a tremendous amount of life—fish and plants. The mixture of life and death is mysterious, even religious. There is the same sense of peace and mood that you feel on entering a cathedral.” — Jacques Yves Cousteau, Oceanographer
