Explore History Beneath the Waves.
There’s nothing quite like dropping onto a shipwreck for the first time. The structure rising up from the seafloor, the history behind it, and the marine life that’s made it home—it’s like diving through a time capsule. But wrecks demand absolute respect and spatial awareness.
The SSI Wreck Diving Course at XR Explorers gives you the crucial skills to explore these structures safely, ensuring you can manage the unique risks of overhead environments and entanglement hazards.
The XR Explorers Standard: Serious Skills
We don't teach wreck diving as just a "sightseeing" trip. Guided by the DIR (Doing It Right) philosophy, we treat it as a rigorous technical discipline. To maximize your safety and mental clarity while navigating these structures, both of your training dives will be conducted using Nitrox 32% gas at no additional charge, with all boat charter fees covered.
-
Hazard Awareness: Learn to spot and avoid invisible fishing nets, sharp metal edges, and unstable, collapsing structures.
-
Anti-Silt Techniques: Mastering your modified frog kicks and horizontal trim so you don't kick up sediment and ruin the visibility for your team.
-
Navigation: How to maintain orientation on a confusing, broken structure.
Technique Focus (No Penetration)
While this course focuses strictly on non-penetration external exploration, we prepare you for the future of technical wreck diving.
-
Line Work: If conditions allow, we introduce the basics of running a primary guideline outside the wreck.
-
Light Communication: Using your primary torch to signal your team in dark, shadowed areas of the hull.
-
Decision Making: Knowing when to stay out and turn the dive is the most important skill of all.
