You drift down and pass
through a window into the past. As you near the bottom, a
recognizable shape begins to form. First, you see a straight
line, then a round window. Next, a ship materializes in
front of you. As you look at the wreck, the past and the
present meet. Whether
sunk intentionally or tragically, whether a sunken ship, a
plane or an automobile, the call of wrecks is nearly
irresistible to divers. Through the PADI Wreck Diver

procedures you need to answer the call of wreck diving.
