Add wreck diving to your logbook with the PADI Wreck Diver specialty out of Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island. You learn safe survey, mapping and penetration-line techniques you can apply to wrecks worldwide, with foundation dives on the rugged volcanic terrain, drop-offs and overhangs that define Galapagos sites. You earn the PADI Wreck Diver certification on completion.
The PADI Wreck Diver specialty covers survey, mapping and limited penetration within recreational no-decompression limits. It counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating and pairs well with the Deep and Nitrox specialties.
Wreck-skills dives run from Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz, using deeper rock-and-wall sites like Bartolome and Cousins Rock and the drop-off at Beagle Rocks to practise survey, mapping and line work in current. Galapagos is known for big-animal reef diving rather than classic shipwrecks, so the course emphasises transferable wreck technique on dramatic volcanic terrain.
