Choosing by experience
Do not choose a wreck by photos alone. Depth, current, overhead hazards and boat traffic matter. A shallow exterior route can be very different from penetration or deep profiles on the same vessel.
Wreck-diving rules
- Use qualified local operators.
- Stay within certification and depth limits.
- Do not penetrate overhead spaces without wreck training.
- Never remove artifacts.
- Maintain buoyancy and avoid damaging marine life.
