Getting Involved

[Jarz]

Hi everyone, first post here on treasure net! Basically I'm really keen to get involved in some shipwreck/treasure search and salvage campaigns. I'm a commercial diver and have been working in the industry for 7 years and have done plenty of marine salvage work including finding and recovering unexploded ordinance, wrecks and heritage items from ww2 in Australia. I'm also a keen underwater photographer and own some good photo equip, dive gear and an Aquapulse AQ1B. Really looking for advice or contacts which may help me realise my dream of being a treasure diver. Any advice appreciated! ✌️

Hello Jarz. Welcome to Treasurenet. Where are you located?

Welcome to Tnet.

Hi there Salvor6 and thank you. I'm currently between Australia and Indonesia but I'm open to travel anywhere! It looks like a lot of the action on treasurenet is around the US Central America which id like to see. Honestly if there's a decent project I don't really mind where it is 🌊

Welcome to Tnet Jarz.

I have a friend in your neck of the woods that runs Tonga Expeditions. She isn't doing treasure, but pleasure diving - whale diving - photography is her specialty. Mention my name and she will charge you double PM me if you are ever going that way.

Thanks for the welcome and replies lads Is there any specific companies who would be worthwhile trying to get in contact with at present?

I know of no companies salvaging steel wrecks for treasure. There are a lot of small outfits doing salvage. Are you looking to be hired, or join in on the action and division of finds - if any?

 

[Jarz]

No not looking to be hired, I'm happy to join the action, meet some people and get my foot in the door basically. Given that I'd probly be traveling a fair distance I'd like to get involved with a decent size project rather than a few days here and there. Though I'm not really sure if it's realistic expecting to step onto something like that, guess that's why I'm here asking the questions!
