Sunken Cities: Underwater Archeology

Site adminFriday, 30 August 20244 views

The most prominent sunken archaeological sites around the world and how historical diving adds to the beauty of exploration.

Underwater archaeology combines diving and history in an unparalleled experience.

The Sunken Alexandria in Egypt

Historic earthquakes drowned parts of ancient Alexandria, and today columns and statues from the Hellenistic era can be seen under the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Yonagoni City, Japan

A huge rocky terrain whose geometry is described by some as artificial, although scholars disagree. Apart from that it is an exceptional diving site with big fish and strong currents.

Lake Michigan and the Hidden Ocean

Thousands of sunken ships in North American lakes and oceans are amazingly preserved in cold waters and constitute rare historic diving sites.

Archaeological diving: strict rules

  • Do not take anything from archaeological sites
  • Do not touch statues and artifacts, even with gloves
  • Photography is for documentation only and not for commercial publication without permission

The underwater past is a trust. You are a visitor, not an owner.
