Sharm El Sheikh is one of the world's great wreck-diving bases, and the PADI Wreck Diver specialty teaches you to explore them safely. Training centres on classic Red Sea wrecks - above all the WWII SS Thistlegorm at around 30m, with its cargo of trucks, motorcycles and munitions. You learn survey, mapping and safe non-penetration techniques across four dives.
PADI teaches wreck diving through eLearning and focuses on non-penetration techniques at this level, issuing a PADI Wreck Diver card; the first dive can credit from Advanced Open Water.
The Red Sea's flagship wreck, the WWII-era SS Thistlegorm, sits at around 30m and is famous for its preserved wartime cargo, while shallower wrecks and reef-edge structures around Sharm suit early wreck training. Visibility of 20-30m makes orientation and mapping straightforward.
