Who can dive it
Technical training required. This dive site is beyond the 130-foot recreational limit, so it's for technical divers only. You need technical training, such as PADI Tec Deep or, for the deepest wrecks, PADI Tec Trimix. The path starts with Advanced Open Water and the PADI Deep Diver specialty. Call us at 954-420-0009 to talk about tec training and tec trips. If you want to go inside a wreck, you need wreck penetration training, like the PADI Wreck Diver specialty.
