Diving on wreck

The plunged on wreck is one of the alternatives of the Plongée underwater where one seeks and explores the stray S of absorbed Navire S.

Reasons of the diving on wreck

The diving on wreck is intéressantepour the plungers in several connections:
  • the wrecks form Récif S artificial, habitat privileged for a large variety of the sea life
  • it are often a site enough extended and diversified with engine rooms, engines, parts which are usually not worth visiting on a ship in service
  • the knowledge of the history of the ship as of the conditions of the Naufrage add an important emotional aspect to the diving
  • it is a autr form of diving asking a preparation and special competences
  • this type of diving enables us to have access to a share of our cultural heritage and can have a great importance in research and advanced in Archeology

Formation with the diving on wreck

Many wrecks, interesting and sometimes still unknown, are with a not or not very accessible depth in diving leisure. This depth requires some formation and a great rigor. The penetration of wreck, when the plunger is found in medium closed without visibility and with little place to be driven, is encoreplus technical and more adventurous.

The majority of the schools of diving propose to form their plungers with this particular type of diving (like PADI for example with its certification wreck diver ). Others, British BSAC, taking into account the number of wrecks at their disposal, consider that the stray formation is indissociable initial training of plunger.

The Nautical archaelogy society sign as for it, in Great Britain, how to protect and take part in the conservation of the underwater historical heritage, while forming its plungers with exploration and the penetration of wrecks.

Protection of the wrecks

In many countries, the wrecks and their contents are protected

In France

In France, all invention of wreck must be declared with the official DRASSM for recording and excavations.

Great Britain

Three Lois protect the wrecks in Great Britain:
