PADI Wreck Diver Specialty — Marsa Alam

Wrecks are where diving meets history, and the Wreck Diver specialty teaches the craft that separates safe wreck diving from risky poking around. Over two to three days you learn to assess and navigate the outside of a wreck, read its layout, identify hazards like sharp metal and entanglement points, survey and map the structure, and work with lines and reels — building toward a supervised, limited-penetration dive where the site safely allows it. Marsa Alam's shallow, coral-encrusted Hamada wreck at Abu Ghusun is an ideal training ground. Prerequisite: PADI Adventure Diver or higher; minimum age 15.
