*Wreck Diver Specialty Course $295.00
Wreck Diver Specialty Course - Wrecks fascinate many divers. You may find yourself curious about what’s inside them, what sank them and what they were like before they went down. Many divers see wrecks as time capsules holding clues to the past and consider them tangible historical and archaeological resources.
The British Virgin Islands has a number of wrecks for divers to explore, including the famous wreck of the RMS Rhone, which is perfect for learning the basic principles of wreck diving. Students can also visit the Virgin Islands Folk Museum and view original artifacts of the time.
The PADI Wreck Diver course is divided into knowledge development and open water training. The knowledge development portion explains the principles and information you need for making and enjoying recreational wreck dives, with topics including wreck diving law, hazards to avoid, how to research wrecks, and the basics of wreck penetration. Knowledge development is handled through independent study with the Wreck Diver manual and review sessions with your instructor prior to open water training.
During open water training, you’ll apply the knowledge you’ve learned as you develop wreck diving skills. As you master these techniques, you’ll learn to adapt what you practice to suit the wreck you’re diving on and your personal interests. Open water training is split over 4 dives with student’s practicing the following techniques:
*Navigation and overview of wreck exterior
*Hazard assessment
*Mapping of wreck
*Assessment of penetration points
*Line use
*Practice of penetration techniques
*Wreck penetration
To enroll in the PADI Wreck Diver course, you must be certified as a PADI Adventure Diver (or have proof of a qualifying certification from another training organization similar to that of the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver) and be 15 years of age or older.

Location description: Dive sites:
*Santa Monica Rock
The rock slopes on all sides to a hard bottom. Deep overhangs offer protection for lobsters, crab and schools of grunts and squirrelfish. This dive site also benefits from larger pelagic, barracuda, bar jacks, blue runners, horse-eye jacks and Atlantic spadefish.
Depth Range: 20-70 ft (6-21 m)
*Angel Reef
Shallow canyons rising to the surface with nudibranch, blennies, jawfish, solderfish, angelfish, octopuses, southern stingrays, eagle rays and snake eels. Sailfin blennies are also spotted in small sandy patches adjacent to the mooring ball.
Depth Range: 20-65 ft (6-20 m)
*The Indians
Four cone shaped rocks rise from a depth of 40 ft to about 30 ft above the surface. Three rocks stand together while the fourth is separated by a channel. Near the bottom, fish fill the narrow passages, and large sea fans and small corals dot the walls. The other side (east) is much shallower. Here you will find small pools filled with silversides in the summer. This site is considered to be one of the best spots for macro life in the BVI’s.
Depth Range: Surface – 50 ft (15 m)
*Rainbow Canyon
Calm and shallow with large coral heads rising from a sandy bottom with classic spur and groove coral formations with canyons and small overhangs. Expect to see hamlets in all colors, cleaning stations, scorpionfish and large colonies of garden eels.
Depth Range: 25-60 ft (7.6-18 m)
*Black Forest
Protected from the weather due to its location – south of Peter Island this dive begins under the mooring ball in shallow waters. A few feet out to sea is a steep slope bringing you to a sandy bottom at about 75 ft. Large black coral trees populate the entire slope, also home to sea fans and a large variety of corals. You will be visited by Caesar, French and bluestriped grunts along with trumpetfish and houndfish.
Depth Range: 15-65 ft ( 4.6-20 m)
*Fearless & Willy T
The Fearless is a 110ft wooden minesweeper that was scuttled in 1986 and sits next to a small coral wall on a sandy bottom. Divers are able to circumnavigate the wreck and peer into dark holes, however penetration is discouraged as time has taken it toll on her wooden timbers. A short swim south, divers come to the wreck of the Willy T, the BVI’s original floating restaurant and bar. The Willy T is a battered 90ft Baltic trader that was put to her rest in 1995. The consistently less than perfect visibility in Great Harbour adds to the mysterious, ghostly feel of this dive site. The coral walls has an abundance of life, including a large amount of Black Coral.
Depth Range: 30-85 ft (9-26 m)
*Painted Walls
Three deep canyons carve their way into the island’s south side. The canyon sides are covered with colorful sponges and soft corals. There’s a lot to see in a small area. Light plays off the site’s many arches, cracks and crevices like a Grand Canyon sunset. Keep your eyes open for octopuses and camouflaged frogfish.
Depth Range: 6-40 ft (1.8 – 12 m)
