WHAT WILL I LEARN DURING THE PADI WRECK DIVER SPECIALTY COURSE WITH DXDIVERS?
The PADI Wreck speciality course is devised to teach divers how to responsibly penetrate wrecks while protecting the delicate structure that houses marine life and provides adventure for other divers. This is a very popular course because it offers entry into some of the most fascinating structures underwater, both manmade and natural. The wreck can be a ship, plane, car or any type of penetrable structure. In this course you will primarily learn safety measures, how to use lines and reels for penetration purposes, and techniques to not kick up silt while wreck diving.

Glad you asked! Here at DXDivers, we’re proud to have an all encompassing facility and dive boat to provide a convenient and relaxing scuba experience. We have a full retail store equipped with over 100 diving brands and over 3000 unique products. On-site, we also have a training pool out back and several classrooms upstairs. Once you’re certified, check out our drive-thru tank fill station so you don’t have to lug your tanks through the store. Best of all, you can hop on our 46’ Newton custom dive boat, the Lady Go Diver, docked less than a mile from the shop. Did we mention we’re the only dive shop in South Florida to have both a full retail dive shop and our own charter boat? We manage every aspect of our operation to better serve you and provide the best possible diving experience.
Yes, both air and Nitrox fills are included throughout the duration of the course. If you do not have your own tanks, rentals will be included.
On the Lady Go Diver, we provide complimentary light snacks, cold drinking water and soda. We highly encourage you to bring your own snacks and drinks so you can feel comfortable while diving with us.
Yes! Whichever adventure dives you complete will count towards the first dive of each respective speciality. For example, the PADI Navigation Specialty requires 3 dives. For Advanced Open Water (AOW), Navigation is required to earn the certification. Once you complete AOW, you will only need 2 more dives to earn your PADI Navigation Specialty certification.
