Peninsular, today Malaysia. In that area several sunken treasure ships
have been discovered in the
last two decades.

Indonesia, the Philippines and Florida are El

|
Before
the wreck diving trip get as much as
possible information about the wreck
dive site as possible, especially
related to safety. The best beside
collecting information in the internet
go to a local dive shop and ask if they
have dive packages for the particular
wreck dive site.
The best
for sure is either take a dive package
from a local dive tour operator or book
a dive liveaboard tour, this way you
have a experienced dive instructor,
diving equipments and dive accessories
on your side and you can concentrate on
your wreck dive only.
A wreck
dive is never without some danger
and your live should be worth this few
extra dollars to be on the safe side. If
you don’t want to go on a wreck diving
trip in a group of scuba divers just
hire a experienced dive instructor at a
local dive shop and he or she will tell
and show you what’s on.
Since the
local dive master already know the wreck
dive site you also wont waste time
on your dive holiday with a lot of
checking and maybe just missing this
particular great dive location for a
great dive picture or video. You are
just there and will enjoy the under
water attractions without problems. You
also wont need any special scuba
training or classes on your scuba dive
holiday.
Wreck dive sites are mostly further
out in the ocean boat dives or
liveaboard diving trip are needed. The
local dive instructor also make sure the
wreck dive trip wont end up in a
unpleasant shark scuba and maybe some
coral diving will be included in the
trip.
At most
wreck dive sites some hazards are
waiting. This can be anything from
strong currents, poisonous fish and
other marine life such as sharks, the
local dive instructor has the knowledge
to avoid this problems.
To complement all this you could do
an advanced diver training course or
class to get a better understanding how
to diving deeper, some navigation skills
and buoyancy control.
Since you
probably are an open water diver
some specialty classes wont hurt.
Providing you with a better
understanding of wreck diving,
underwater photography and video plus
maybe night diving and cave diving.
Watch
out, maybe you find a hidden ship wreck
like this wreck of sunken Netherland and
Chinese ships in the Strait of Malacca
and off the east coast of Malaysia in
the South China Sea. Also in Indonesian
and Philippine waters are plenty of
sunken ship wrecks. |
