About this course
Wrecks are some of the most captivating dive sites anywhere, and teaching divers how to explore them safely and respectfully is a genuinely rewarding specialty to add to your instructor credentials. The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty Instructor course at Diving Academy is a one-day programme focused on giving you the skills to organise, promote and confidently deliver this course to your own students.
You will look at how to structure wreck diving theory and skills sessions, covering safe penetration limits, line and reel use, hazard awareness around unstable structures and entanglement, and how to plan dives that respect both diver safety and the wrecks themselves as historical or ecological sites. The course also emphasises how to communicate the value of specialty training, helping your students see wreck diving as a skill built up progressively rather than rushed into.
To take the course you need PADI Assistant Instructor status, to be an instructor candidate in training, or to hold PADI Divemaster certification, with some specialties carrying additional prerequisites. You will benefit from teaching tips and hands-on experience passed on directly from your local PADI Course Director.
Once certified, you can run the Wreck Diver Specialty independently, tapping into one of the most consistently popular specialties among recreational divers. It also counts toward the five specialty instructor certifications needed for Master Scuba Diver Trainer status, a valuable long-term goal for instructors at Diving Academy in Reading.

“🌊 IDC No. 8 – April-May 2026: AMAZING! 🌊 An incredibly intensive course that truly prepares you to become the kind of instructor you wish you had when you first decided to breathe underwater 🤿 It lasted nearly a month online and 10 days in person.💪💪💪 You need to trust the process, because the program is designed not only to teach diving skills, but also to help you grow into a more professional, confident, and responsible person 💪 During these 10 days, you’ll be so focused on learning and improving that you probably won’t even have time to take photos 📚🔥 The entire IDC Sardinia staff is always there for you — guiding, supporting, motivating, and helping you through every challenge. They seem to have a sixth sense for knowing exactly when you need encouragement, and they won’t let you give up, even when the summit feels far away 🌟 And don’t worry… there will also be moments of…”Greta ValotiSardinia · Google review★★★★★

“I did the IDC with them and everything was truly fantastic. They're professional, helpful, and ready to help you both with the course and if you have any issues with the equipment. They truly take care of every detail. Luckily, I don't have to do it again 😄 ✌🏼, but if I did, I'd definitely choose them again.”Christian FalcettelliSardinia · Google review★★★★★
