Wreck Diving Specialty Course

Wondering what diving certification to get next on Koh Tao?  What about the Wreck Specialty course?  Shipwrecks are a great haven for marine life as well as being very interesting and inspiring for divers to explore.  Asia has a great many wrecks in shallow, clear waters so doing the Wreck Specialty opens up so many of these dive sites to explore safely.  Wrecks have a great many hazards to be aware of and you should not treat them as simple fun dives.  It is great to combine this course with the Deep Specialty taking you to 40m and then 90% of dive sites around Asia are open to you.
