exploratory diving

Exploratory diving is a type of underwater exploration where divers investigate unknown or less-mapped areas, such as new marine caves, wrecks, or uncharted reefs. The goal is to gather information about the environment, features, and potential hazards, often for scientific research, mapping, or discovering new sites. These dives require specialized skills, careful planning, and often conservative procedures to ensure safety, as the divers may encounter unpredictable conditions. Essentially, exploratory diving is about venturing into uncharted underwater territory with a focus on observation, documentation, and expanding our understanding of the underwater world.
