That approach, although mentioned in the Advanced Wreck course, has largely fallen out of favour. Using cave diving techniques has become much more widely accepted.

Both the Last Dive and Deep Descent refer to incidents that occured at least 10 years ago. They are useful as a way of seeing what used to happen and where many of the lessons in todays courses come from but we have come a long way from those days.
