What's under there in the southwest United Kingdom?
Hello all!
I recently moved to Bournemouth, Dorset on the south coast of the UK to study my Masters in Maritime Archaeology. Firstly, let's skip the archie debate. I believe for-profit (salvage) archaeology is a viable way to conduct research and make history available to the public. Not all archaeologists believe that wrecks should be left to rot
While I'm here studying, I'd love to have the chance to get some diving/salvage/research done. Does anybody out there know anyone who might need help working on a project in the area? I'm a DM with my tec 40/45 tickets as well, over 250 dives, very comfortable in the water, and I have my own gear (except cylinders). As a poor student I don't much fancy the idea of paying 45 Sterling (a week's food!) for a day under the waves, but I'm young, fit, and I have an excellent work ethic so I have no doubt that for the right person or project, an arrangement could be made. I don't have a vehicle so would be pretty confined to the local area, but dive centers do 93 wrecks in Swanage harbour ALONE so I am certain there have got to be some amazing projects/frequent divers in the area.
If need be I can most certainly provide references attesting to my diving ability, work ethic, etc. I'm not asking for money, just some awesome diving. In turn, let my research skills and enthusiasm work for you!
If you would like some help working on a project in the Bournemouth area, send me a PM and I can get in touch with my email and my mobile number.
Thanks in advance!
