Description of Products or Services:

Diving With a Purpose (DWP) offers a new adventure and a different challenge for veteran divers maritime archaeology. The field of archaeology received fame with the movie Raiders of Lost Arkand its swashbuckling hero Indiana Jones. But that was mostly glamour! Archaeology is a precise science that requires painstaking patience and precision.

The DWP maritime archaeology course is an intense week-long program that teaches the basics of underwater archaeology, including underwater mapping and trilateration. (Trilateration is the method archaeologists use to map and measure various sections of the wreck.) During the course, you can spend up to 1 to 12; hours surveying a 6 x 6 section of a site, not moving from that area. The work includes fanning the seafloor to expose the wreck and documenting the site using a ruler, pencil and slate with Mylar paper.

This type of diving is not for everyone. It takes diligence and concentration. However, the work is very rewarding when you know that you are responsible for preserving and cataloging history. As divers, we should always look for ways to increase our knowledge and thirst for the sport through advanced training and specialty diving courses like underwater archaeology.
