Maybe it is due to the huge shadow divers first see, as they descend into the blue water. Maybe it is because of the incredible staircases encrusted with corals or the windows that allow you to see long-lost cargo. Or just maybe, it is the reality that sailors once filled these ships that have now sunk to the depths.
Whatever it is, exploring a sunken shipwreck can be both riveting and thrilling, but it also presents unique risks. You may encounter currents, rust and the dangers of diving in overhead environments. Thatโs why any diver interested in exploring Wrecks should enroll in the ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ for an introduction to the ins and outs (literally) of wreck diving!
