can anyone help me i dont know how shipwrecks work could somone help me 

 
You need:

- backpack

- Diving suit, rebreather, diving goggles, diving license

- Excavator (buy at market)

 then you make your way to the wreck with your boat, and dive down. Press Y when near the wreck, select the excavator and click Use. Then wait till it says it's full. Go back to boat, fill it, dive back & repeat untill boat & backpack are full. Then sell in Kavala at the antiques dealer.

 
Ditto +1. 

I'm going muff diving! Yay! (With an excavator.)

 
Its pretty lucrative. (For legal buisiness...)

Take this hint as well because I love you so much =)

USE A HELICOPTER! Get one person to fly, one to dive. You can easily get to all of them. As long as you hover at about 5 meters, people will be able to jump out with no harm. Lower to like 2 meters so they can climb back in. Full orca makes over 200k, and as far as I found out, the wrecks have a limitless supply of treassures. After a while you'll know which items you just as well leave behing (glass bottle, scrap metal, fools gold), as they barely make anything. The Old Gold Bar is the best, worth 10k =) Happy diving =).

And leave those SDAR's at home.. Once had a random police check while I had one. Swim 800 metres to get ashore safely xD

I just keep getting the message "you are not near enough to a boat" am i doing something wrong because ive swam right round the wreck ?

 
You need to press "Y" not "T" to start excavating. In the "Y" menu, press on the excavator -> USE. You will start picking up items, and as stated before, clear your inventory from crap. And try to check the prices in the market if you are unsure. 

 
yeah i tried that but ive read in the last hour that wrecks have been deactivated dont know how accurate this is ??

this thread is 3 years old...

but basically you go to the shipwreck that will be marked on the map with an excavator and press windows key, Works for everyone I've been too.

Are you sure it's a altis life shipwreck and not one which is in the game standard. It will only work with shipwrecks which are seen at a yellow marker.

 
Ahhh so its not the black ones ? well now i feel stupid......

Do the just spawn randomly ??
Indeed. Not the black ones. Yes they do spawn randomly! You will get a notification when they spawn and just look at the map to see where they spawned! And you're welcome.
