Technical Wreck Course: What Is Advanced Wreck Training Like?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A technical wreck course (sometimes called ‘advanced wreck<\/a>‘) is a pinnacle-level diving course for highly qualified technical divers who wish to penetrate extensively inside shipwrecks. Whilst the primary skills and drills taught in these courses are identical wherever they are taught, the focus and philosophy of training can vary significantly by region or by the individual instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I will attempt to explain the general components and structure of a technical wreck course, along with my personal interpretation, as a technical wreck instructor with 2 decades of teaching experience, of how I focus and run my courses here in Subic Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photos used to illustrate this article are all still shots taken from GoPro footage of a technical wreck course that I ran on the wrecks of Subic Bay in January 2016. My French student, Robin, was already a well-known cave explorer and instructor. We conducted a technical-level sidemount course<\/a> and fundamental skills clinic before doing the technical wreck course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total training was 10 days. I video my courses to enable constructive post-dive debriefs and student self-analysis. This is a very effective learning tool that promotes rapid development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
