During wreck dives, remaining cautious of potential entrapment hazards is crucial for diver safety. Wrecks often contain confined spaces such as cabins or holds that can pose a significant risk if divers become trapped. These areas may have jagged edges, debris, or openings that can become obstructed or difficult to navigate in low visibility, making it easy for divers to lose their way or get stuck.

Understanding the nature of the wreck and looking for potential hazards before entering confined spaces allows divers to take appropriate precautions. Additionally, wreck divers are typically advised to maintain good buoyancy control and stay aware of their surroundings to reduce the risk of entrapment. Proper training in assessing and mitigating these risks is essential in ensuring safety during wreck dives.
