Advanced wreck exploration

In the heart of Romanian diving, there’s a name synonymous with wrecks: Aquarius Dive Center. For over 20 years, they’ve led the way in wreck exploration, driven by the passion of co-owner Harry Bakker.

Harry isn’t just another instructor; wreck diving is his calling. Since 1990, he’s been diving and teaching, but his true love lies in the mysteries of sunken vessels. The Black Sea, with its trove of underwater history, has been his playground. Names like Arkadia, Paris, Sadu,  Mitera Zafira, Vishva Shanti, You Xiu etc. whisper tales of bygone eras, all meticulously explored and mapped by Harry.

But his most profound discovery wasn’t a mere ship. The Russian submarine SC-213, shrouded in controversy, was identified and mapped by Harry and his team, bringing to light a dark chapter in history – the sinking of the Struma, a Jewish refugee ship, with a tragic loss of life.

This dedication to exploration, honed over hundreds of dives in harsh conditions, has made Aquarius Dive Center the premier destination for the PADI Wreck Dive Specialty in Tenerife. With our expertise and unwavering passion, your wreck diving adventure won’t just be a dive; it will be a journey into the past.
