The wreck diving specialty course is designed for certified divers with at least an Open Water Diver certification. It builds upon fundamental diving skills. If you're a beginner, we recommend completing the Open Water Diver course first and gaining some diving experience before enrolling in the wreck diving specialty course.
While basic scuba equipment is necessary, the wreck diving specialty course may require additional equipment, such as a dive light and a wreck reel. Our instructors will provide guidance on the specific gear needed for the course. It's essential to have your own well-maintained equipment, and rentals are available if needed.
The depth of wreck dives varies depending on the specific wreck site and course requirements. Generally, wreck diving specialty courses include dives within the recreational depth limits, typically up to 30 meters (100 feet). Participants must adhere to the depth limits set by their certification level. If you have concerns or specific questions about depth, our experienced instructors will address them during the course orientation.
While scuba diving around Koh Tao is generally safe, as with any marine environment, there are certain marine creatures that have the potential to be hazardous. It's essential to be aware of these species and take appropriate precautions. Some examples include:
Sea Urchins: These spiky creatures are common on rocky surfaces. Accidentally stepping on a sea urchin can result in painful stings. It's advisable to watch your step, wear sturdy dive boots, and be cautious when navigating rocky areas.
Scorpionfish and Stonefish: These camouflaged fish can deliver venomous spines if stepped on or touched. Careful finning techniques and avoiding contact with the seabed can reduce the risk of encountering these creatures.
