Technical wreck diving is an extremely adventurous activity which of course requires high level of skills, knowledge, many years of experience and mastering technical diving equipment.

Unreasonable excess of deep limits, as well as penetrations of the ship wrecks without necessary adequate experience and corresponding equipment represents unnecessary live hazards. Many beginners have already paid for such silly matters (often even not being aware of the facts) the highest price.
Should you be attracted by the wreck diving, do not hesitate to get more knowledge and practice. There is a rather long way ahead of you, but a reward is prepared for you: experiences of outmost uniqueness. Until you have fully mastered technical diving equipment, the ways of scheduling and applications of mixed-gas breathing in the course of one dive, you will have no chance of perfect understanding of the problems connected with the issues such as: deep intoxication, decompression theory, accelerated decompression, oxygen exposure and toxicity, and until you have gained enough experience, just stay away from technical wreck diving.

The very basic qualification necessary for wreck diving is an advanced qualification course passed in one of the worldwide acknowledged educational and training systems (for example, PADI AOWD). Should you be attracted by the wreck diving so much that you are going to devote yourselves to shipwrecks in details and penetrate them, you should be in possession of specialized qualification and corresponding training (for example, PADI specialization of Wreck Diver). This training will make you acquainted not only in theory, but especially in practice with all the dangers possible and with complete standard procedures. At the same time, you will learn to use the specialized equipment necessary for safe penetration of wrecks. It is necessary to realize that there are especially 4 diving areas, which require special training, equipment and experience. They are the areas, where the diver is without a direct access to the surface:

Wreck Diving
Ice Diving
Cave Diving
Decompression Diving

The technical diving may simply be characterized as diving in which divers should have a significantly more extensive equipment, practice mixed-gas breathing in the course of one dive, move in deeper areas, and mostly without any direct access to the surface. Before the recreational divers develop into technical divers, they have to go through many courses and hundreds of dives. Generally, the Enriched Air Nitrox Courses can be considered to represent a certain connection between recreational and technical diving. Applicants for technical diving can pass according to their experience and current qualification the following courses:

Technical Apprentice Diver - Tec Diver level 1
Technical Deep Diver
Technical Trimix Diver
Technical Driver with Closed or Semi-Closed Circuit

You have an opportunity of passing the advanced diving courses at the
Kapr Divers - PADI 5Star Dive Center 3698

PADI AOWD Course – Advanced Diver
By passing the advanced course, the divers at basic level become more experienced divers in entertaining and attractive ways. Their new qualification of experienced divers gives them an authorization of diving deeper than 18 m, night diving, or diving to wrecks of ships that went down. The course consists of five separate diving schemes, out of which two are obligatory and three others optional. Each of them will be in details dealt with in the classroom theory and accompanied with practical training dives.
Deep Diving and Underwater Navigation are obligatory parts of the AOWD course.
As for the optional part, the participants can choose the dives according to their interests and conditions of the site. Night Dive, Wreck Diving, Multilevel Dive, Peak Performance Buoyancy but as well as Dive in Dry Suits, Underwater Naturalist or Underwater Photographer.
Minimum participation prerequisites: age: 12 let, qualification: PADI OWD or equivalent from another training system.
If your age is between 12 and 15 years, after completing the course you will get the Junior Advanced Open Water Diver qualification.

Wreck Diving Course
This course is especially for those, who are fascinated by wrecks of sunken ships and who would like to get further than to the optional Wreck Dive which makes part of AOWD courses.
The main objective is to make the participants familiar with the techniques of planning and performing of safe dives enabling the penetration of wrecks of sunken ships.
Wreck Diving makes more demands on divers, because as it is the case with the Ice Diving, there will be no direct access to the surface. The theory of this specialized course will provide knowledge of any specific matter in connection with planning of safe wreck dives with the option of the wreck penetration.
Practical procedures will be trained during 4 training dives.
Minimum participation prerequisites: age 15 years, qualification: PADI AOWD, or equivalent from another training system.

Enriched Air Nitrox Diving Course
In the specialized Nitrox course – diving with enriched air, you will learn all the essential theory and get the experience in diving using the EANx mix with the oxygen content of 22% to 40%. In comparison with air diving, using Nitrox will greatly increase the amount of time of the no decompression limits. The theory in the lessons will ensure that you have all appropriate knowledge concerning the benefits and demands in connection with breathing the EANx under water. The theory will be completed by passing a written test.
The participants will have an opportunity of practical experience of their acquired knowledge and skills in the course of two training EANx dives.
Minimum participation prerequisites: age 15 years, qualification: PADI OWD + 10 dives outside the training, or the PADI AOWD qualification, or equivalent from another training system.

Apprentice Tec Diver
The instruction of the DSAT Tec Diver course on that level includes planning and performance of dives with technical equipment in no decompression procedures to a depth of 40 meters. The participants will improve their knowledge and skills, they will learn how to use standard technical equipment to be allowed to conduct dives with gas switch under water. The key objective of this course is to understand the risks and minimize the chance of any accident during extremely demanding dives. The course consists of four separate lessons of decompression theory, kit, planning of gas consumption and technical diving standard procedures and emergencies.
The theoretical part of the course will be completed with a written test.
In the course of 7 dives, the participants will thoroughly learn technical equipment and they will be proceeding from simple skills to the more complicated ones and from the shallow to deeper water.
After passing this course, the divers will be able of perfect conduct of standard skills, such as keeping the neutral buoyancy when handling more cylinders and they will be able to find solutions to emergencies.
After passing the course and meeting all entry requirements, the Tec Diver course Level 1 graduates are credited towards the DSAT Tec Deep Diver course and they can complete the Tec Deep Diver course with two lessons of theory, five dives and a test.
Minimum participation prerequisites:
