Study Shipwrecks in a New Way
Travel with us to Ft. Lauderdale for a few days of U/W Archaeology. This workshop will acquaint divers with the essentials of underwater archaeology as practiced on submerged historic sites in Florida.
This workshop will give you the necessary training and knowledge to participate in underwater archaeological projects and to help preserve our submerged cultural heritage by knowing what to do if you find a historic shipwreck.
