wreck diving
Exploring submerged vessels
Wreck diving is the practice of scuba diving to explore sunken ships, aircraft, or other submerged structures.
Divers seek out wrecks for their historical interest, marine life, or the challenge of navigating enclosed spaces: The Florida Keys are famous for wreck diving.
Penetrating a wreck's interior requires specialized training due to limited visibility and entanglement hazards.
