Offering young people an underwater look at archaeology, this project is delivered by the London School of Diving and Nautical Archaeological Society at Fort Cumberland. Participants will learn the technical basics of scuba diving, learning how to carry out underwater tasks and finally trying out underwater archaeology with the simulation of retrieving an underwater object.
