Dive One:

• Instructor or certified assistant leads, using navigation techniques appropriate to wreck chosen.

• Students control their buoyancy and remain neutrally buoyant.  Students avoid silting problems through buoyancy and fin control.  Watch for wreck and aquatic life hazards.

• Return to ascent point without surfacing.

Dive Two:

• Explore wreck,

•  map wreck (or portion of wreck depending on size),

• penetration assessment – locating potential entry

• return to ascent point without surfacing

Dive Three:     

• Deploy penetration line on the outside of the wreck

• ·         Swim along the penetration line while holding on to a dive light and moving in such a manner as not to kick up silt

  ·         Retrieve penetration line from the outside of the wreck

  ·         Navigate to ascent point

  ·         Practice deploying, following and retrieving penetration line at the surface

Dive Four – Instructor discretion on whether or not to penetrate wreck.  For penetration dive, it’s Dive A, for non-penetration dive it’s Dive B.  One or the other not both.

Dive A – Penetration dive – Students must be accompanied by the instructor
