I would like to join this course but not now. When will the next “run” be? And where do I register?

Hi Wendy,

I suppose a wreck becomes interesting when someone becomes interested in it! That may sound like a flippant answer, but ask anyone what they think is the most interesting shipwreck in the world and the possibilities are endless. While we do know about many sites from archival records, there is always lots of learn about a site from visiting it. Even if you just better understand how a wreck is eroding, that adds to the knowledge we have on preservation in situ of sites.

When does a wreck become interesting? So many wrecks off the coast of Australia but with ordinances and records what they hold must be already known.

I’m excited to be starting the course. Did a dive off of South Carolina last weekend, two barges and a dozen or so armoured personnel carriers. I’m wondering what the archaeology community thinks about intentionally sunk objects beyond the positive aspects from a marine biology perspective.

I’m really looking forward to this, as we have, in Narragansett Bay, the remains of the Endeavour, Captain Cook’s first ship that he used to view the transit of Venus at Tahiti. There is an organization here in Rhode Island that studies wrecks in the Bay, and I’ve always wanted to learn more about the subject.

as a deep wreck tec-50 and recreational scuba instructor, my obvious interest in preserving wrecks has been overtaken by my wish to identify some new ones.

For the past two years I have been totally hooked by diving, also being lucky enough to live in Greece makes it even more addictive for me!
I look forward to the next course starting.
