The Sea Ventures U-Boat Diving course is a four-day course that will familiarize you with German U-Boat operations off the U.S. East Coast during World War II and educate you on the special skills and equipment necessary for exploring these historic wrecks. Check with
Sea Ventures for the latest on scheduled trips
The Sea Ventures U-Boat Diving course is strictly a recreational diving course.
During the course, you will be trained to conduct scuba dives to U-Boat wrecks
no deeper than 130 fsw. You will be prepared to externally examine U-Boat wrecks only;
no penetration training will be conducted. All dives will be no-decompression dives.
The course consists of:
- Two 3-hour classroom sessions, during which students will learn the history of German U-Boat operations
on the U.S. East Coast and the equipment, techniques, and procedures necessary for diving on them.
- Five dives at Millbrook Quarry, where you will employ wreck and deep diving equipment and techniques in a controlled open water environment.
- Additionally, a dive to an actual U-Boat wreck is required for certification. The trip is not
included in the cost of the course. Upon successful completion of the Sea Ventures U-Boat Diving course
and the required dive on an actual U-Boat wreck, you will receive certification in the SSI Wreck and
Deep Diving specialties.
