PADI Specialty Wreck Diver

Dive into the world of wrecks or sunken ships in Puerto del Carmen

Diving allows you to relive legends, adventures, and history at the same time. Discover incredible shipwrecks and memories from another time!

Wreck diving is a risky activity and therefore requires the necessary knowledge and skills that you acquire during the Wreck Specialty Course.

Wreck diving opens a gate into the past, a journey through time. Some of the many shipwrecks in Puerto del Carmen sank intentionally, while others conceal a tragic story.

Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote is the ideal place to participate in the PADI Specialty Wreck Diver, as we have several wrecks of sunken ships. This allows us to have different levels of complexity and experience different scenarios. The most famous are the “Pecios de Puerto del Carmen” and the “Pecios de Barranco del Quéquere”.

With PADI eLearning you can complete the theoretical part of your diving course comfortably at home before your holidays. Skip the classroom and better spend your time in Lanzarote underwater or on the beach. Relax and make the most out of your holidays with PADI eLearning. No extra charges.

What does the PADI Specialty Wreck Diver include?

Your instructor will explain you the different types of shipwrecks, the cultural and historical background, and the legal restrictions.

We will do 4 open water dives, where you will learn to safely explore and navigate the submerged remains and orientate yourself on maps and exploration of the wrecks.

You will practice techniques to prevent the formation of sediments as well as damage to the historical remains and sea creatures. We will train with penetration lines and spools to ensure error-free navigation and orientation within the wrecks.

Depending on how safe you feel and what condition the wreck is in, you might penetrate the wreck during the last dive of the specialty.
