Padi Wreck Diver Speciality

Northern Irelands coast line is littered with wrecks of ships and U Boats Many lost during World War 2, wrecks are fascinating windows to the past. Ships, airplanes and even cars are fascinating to explore and usually teeming with aquatic life. 

Each wreck dive offers a chance for discovery, potentially unlocking a mystery or spying something others have missed. The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course is popular because it offers rewarding adventures while observing responsible wreck diving practices.
