Wreck Diver Classes

As you drop down the stark white descent line, your heart is pounding with excitement and anticipation of the dive. You are well trained, well equipped and you've done your homework. There below lies a mysterious and fascinating world; a place where time has been frozen and a myriad of marine life has begun to invade. This is of course, the lure of exploring sunken shipwrecks. You are a Jersey Wreck Diver! A member of an elite group of divers respected (and sometimes feared) the world over.

 

Dudas' Diving Duds has been synonymous with wreck diving ever since John Dudas and Evelyn Bartram (later Evelyn B.
