Learn how to penetrate New Zealand's shipwrecks safely with Dive Now Whangarei

We aim to run a 3 dive day, one Friday per month to the Waikato wreck for our Wreck courses and a 2 dive day one Sunday per month as part of our Advanced Adventurer courses.

Over the course some of the things you will learn are:
  • Spotting hazards, points of interest and potential penetration points
  • Map part of the outside of the wreck. You will use your maps and any available schematics to plan penetration routes within your training levels.
  • Practise using reels and lights to safely penetrate a wreck and communicate with a buddy
  • Look at progressive penetration methods
  • Practise to carry, stage and retrieve a bail-out cylinder safely for the team to use in an emergency
  • Finning techniques required for diving inside a wreck
Be warned, wreck diving can be extremely addictive.
