OVERVIEW
Unlock the mysteries of sunken vessels with expert training
Shipwrecks are magnetic underwater time capsules that transform into vibrant artificial reefs. Diving around and entering sunken vessels requires strict discipline, precise buoyancy, guideline deployment, and specialized safety protocols.
In Eilat, you conduct 4 progressive training dives on famous sites like the INS Satil (a 45-meter naval missile boat resting at 24 meters depth). Under direct instructor guidance, you learn how to map structures, assess entry and exit points, and deploy dive reels with penetration lines.
You master anti-silt kick techniques (frog kicks) to keep visibility pristine, navigate enclosed spaces within daylight zones, and manage emergency protocols. The PADI Wreck Diver certification gives you global recognition to explore shipwrecks worldwide.
