Advanced Wreck Diver
This Program is designed to instruct divers in extended wreck penetration in depths up to 130 ft or the depth currently qualified to dive.   
Decompression Gas mixtures:
  •        Air-qualified divers may breathe EAN 32 during decompression, if briefed on its use.
  •        EANx-qualified divers may breathe up to EAN 40 during decompression.
  • .       Advanced EANx-qualified divers may breathe up to EAN 50 during decompression.
  •        Technical Divers or students enrolled in the Technical Wreck Program may breathe any EANx mixture or oxygen during
  • This course may be taught in conjunction with a Normoxic Trimix

Wreck penetration hazards are much different than those found in a cave. Those differences are discussed, appropriate planning and protocols
presented along with variations in diving techniques.

Qualifies Diver to make extensive wreck penetrations with proper equipment up to their current depth rating
