All the dives you do in this class counts towards the correlating specialty class. The Gulf of Mexico offers great Wreck diving and Spearfishing while middle & south Florida have great Wreck & Drift diving and are considered to be the "Wreckreational" Dive Capital of the World. There are over 80 wrecks in the Miami/West Palm Beach area alone. Drift diving is the "Norm" and is done in these areas where the current can be heavy So, we feel that a concentration on drift diving is paramount.
