The PADI Wreck Diver pathway

PADI Wreck Diver uses eLearning and the specialty manual, covers limited penetration with lines and reels, and counts toward Master Scuba Diver. Certification is a PADI specialty card.

Where you'll dive in Cancun Cozumel

Wreck training in this region uses sunken vessels and artificial reefs around Cancún and Cozumel, where drift and depth (typically 18-30 m) call for careful gas planning. The structures have become busy habitats that draw schooling fish, eels and the occasional nurse shark.
