a type of scuba diving where the diver explores sunken ships and other underwater structures

Wreck diving is a type of scuba diving where divers explore sunken ships, airplanes, or other structures. These wrecks, often located in oceans or lakes, offer an exciting opportunity to learn about history and marine life. Over time, many wrecks become artificial reefs, providing homes for various fish and other sea creatures. Wreck diving can be challenging because it often involves navigating through confined spaces, dealing with limited visibility, and managing the risks associated with deep or technical dives. It requires good dive training, preparation, and respect for the environment and the wrecks themselves, which are often considered historical sites.
