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.

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.
