Off the shores of Arguineguín, the Wreck Diver course turns an ordinary dive into a slow, deliberate enactment of discovery. You learn the techniques and theory needed to approach, descend and inspect wrecks — where ships, planes and even cars lie as underwater time capsules — and experience that moment when a hull or fuselage resolves out of the blue as you close in.

THE TRAINING

Hands‑on wreck techniques and theory

The course teaches the procedures, abilities and theory required to safely approach and explore wrecks, giving divers the practical skills to answer the 'call to the wreck.'

THE SITES

Sunken ships, planes and cars

Wrecks in the area include intentionally and accidentally sunk structures; the course frames each dive as an encounter with the past as you descend and a wreck gradually takes shape in front of you.

THE LOGISTICS

Boat access and equipment provided

Boat fees and equipment use are included in the offering, simplifying logistics so you can focus on skill development and exploring the wrecks.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to dive these wrecks

The rhythm of the course is deliberate: training and briefings lead into a sequence of four dives where you practise wreck techniques, descend slowly and close with the structure until it resolves into a familiar silhouette. The sensation is part training, part archaeology — a measured progression from theory to the startling intimacy of a wreck revealed beneath the surface.
