This course provides you with the advanced skills and knowledge necessary to conduct non-penetration and limited penetration dives on wrecks, utilizing techniques and equipment that are tailored for technical diving. Whether you are exploring historic shipwrecks or modern vessels, this course equips you to handle the challenges and rewards of wreck diving with confidence.
Essential Wreck Diving Techniques
During this course, you’ll be trained in essential techniques that are crucial for safe and effective wreck exploration. This includes the correct use of reels and lines for limited penetration dives, allowing you to safely navigate and exit the wreck even in low-visibility conditions. You’ll also learn how to manage silt-out situations, which can occur when fine sediment inside or around the wreck is disturbed, reducing visibility to near-zero. In addition, the course covers methods for navigating the intricate and often hazardous environments found within wrecks, such as tight passages and entanglement risks. You’ll gain the ability to assess the structural integrity of a wreck, helping you to determine which areas are safe to explore and which should be avoided due to potential collapse or other dangers.
Equipment Configuration and Dive Planning
The Tek Lite Wreck Diver Course places significant emphasis on the correct configuration of your diving equipment for wreck environments. You’ll learn how to streamline your gear to minimize the risk of entanglement and ensure smooth, efficient movement through confined spaces. This involves careful consideration of where and how to place essential items such as reels, cutting tools, and backup lights. Moreover, you’ll receive comprehensive training in planning wreck dives, covering all aspects from gas management and dive profiles to emergency procedures that are specifically tailored to the unique challenges presented by wreck diving. Understanding how to plan your dive to account for potential hazards, such as strong currents, deteriorating wreck conditions, and the psychological aspects of diving in enclosed spaces, is crucial for successful and safe wreck exploration.
