To help attain trained divers to participate on these projects, the GLSPS is presenting this class on underwater archaeology and shipwreck documentation.
This is your chance to learn new diving related skills and get involved with exciting GLSPS projects.

 

The Course will allow you to learn the skills and practice the Documentation of an underwater shipwreck by drawing to scale underwater using tri-lateration methods, base lines and cross lines, using basic measuring tools, then transferring the information to a site plan
