The world’s best shipwrecks to explore

Posted on at


From the cold waters of Scotland to the Great Barrier Reef lie the wrecks of once mighty warships.

There is something about a shipwreck that haunts the imagination. Maybe it's the horrifying thought of a ship going down and the loss of life entailed – or maybe it's the way once glorious vessels that sailed the oceans lie broken on the sea floor. Whatever the reason, they hold a magnetic appeal for adventurous divers and photographers.

Doors and hatches were removed, giving each room at least one exit point. 
Those with wreck diver certification cards can penetrate all five of the ship’s levels. The wheelhouse is shallowest, housing the wheel and compass. Two recompression chambers and the artificial diving bell are also highlights.
