I completed my wreck diving certification today with Dive Friends, and could not be happier with it. The PADI wreck diving book could be improved by being a bit more... read more specific with the skills that matter (such as line tying) and it was rather ambiguous as to what should be expected (which makes sense, because wrecks can vary significantly). Because of this, I get the sense that the enjoyment and the usefulness of this course is highly dependent on the instructor. In this case, it was Pieter de Groot, whom I would recommend to anyone. Pieter made sure that I understood the history of the wreck, and did a nice survey of it before even entering the water. Each dive was a successive step toward making wreck diving a safe endeavor, and left me with a newly acquired skill. At the end of this, I feel like I understand that basics of doing a safe and planned wreck dive. Though I recognize that I have significant practice and learning ahead, I went from having no practical knowledge, to feeling like a beginner. I would highly recommend.
