The dive training area and the wreck site itself are approximately 10 meters deep (ca. 30 ft). For reasons of safety, the excavation area that is open to students is 3-4 meters deep (9-12 ft.). This also allows you to work underwater for 60-70 minutes using a 14 liter tank or 60-90 min using the Hookah compressor. Visibility is typically quite good. All divers are required to surface at a designated location for safety reasons. Depending on weather conditions, diving will take place 5-6 days a week. |
