Diving Archaeology

Diving archaeology is the study of underwater sites to uncover artifacts and structures that offer insights into past human societies. This field combines techniques from both archaeology and scuba diving to explore shipwrecks, submerged cities, and prehistoric landscapes. Archaeologists carefully document their findings, which can include tools, pottery, or remnants of buildings, often revealing information about trade, culture, and daily life of ancient peoples. Through this specialized work, diving archaeologists contribute to our understanding of history and preserve crucial evidence of human activity that lies beneath the water's surface.
