Wreck Diving is the most exciting and adventurous kind of diving there is. All around the world there are thousands of shipwrecks all with individual stories of action and adventure waiting to be discovered. In the waters around the UK we have the biggest concentration of wrecks anywhere in the world with ocean-liners, battleships, merchant vessels, aircraft and submarines with many more yet to be discovered. Shipwrecks are surreal time capsules, a graphic representation of a past time you can actually be part of.
