NAUI Specialties
Wreck diving is unlike any other experience underwater. Maybe it’s watching a hulking shadow emerge from the blue as you descend the mooring line, or maybe it’s the delight of finning down corridors where sailors once walked, peering into holds filled with long-lost cargo. Whatever it is, exploring the skeletons of sunken underwater wrecks can be both riveting and thrilling, but it also presents unique risks and you may encounter dangers of diving in overhead environments. That’s why any diver interested in exploring underwater wrecks should enroll in the NAUI Wreck Diver Specialty Course for an introduction to the ins and outs (literally) of wreck diving.

Ships, airplanes, and even cars are fascinating to explore and usually teem with aquatic life.
