Hi guys,

Well I've just finished writing up and been approved my distinctive speciality "Wreck Hunter". It's a course that's been designed around twin beam side scan sonar and magnetometers used for wreck hunting. This course is to dispel some of the myths about using that kind of kit. There are lots of hands on training with both pieces of kit and at the end of the course students will be awarded the PADI "Wreck Hunter" distinctive speciality card and will be able to go out and buy this kit and get results. Who knows, if you have heard that myth (and we all have them) locally about that treasure rich ship that sank in your neighbourhood then you will need to know how to use this kit to find it.

There is more information on my website at Wreck Hunter and on the Emperor Divers website at Emperor.

If anyone wants to come along on one of our safaris just drop us a line. There are a lot of wrecks in the Red Sea and this is the first time that anyone has taken this kind of kit out there to look for them. I will be there for a month in the end of Jan begining of Feb checking locations that I have gleaned from the archives and when we run the safaris everyone will be diving on wrecks that nobody has dived on before.

During a recent safari I was lucky enough to be invited to film a WWII destroyer that has previously been undived and you can see the video here which I hope you like.
