Abstract

scuba diving underwater cultural heritage diver training Wreck diver underwater cultural heritage management shipwrecks diver impacts
Wreck diver speciality training programmes provide ideal opportunities to educate divers about the values and importance of shipwrecks as well as ways to avoid or minimise diver impacts on these sites. This research compares current recreational wreck diving training programmes with those from the 1980s to determine whether such programmes educate divers about the impacts of recreational scuba diving and how these impacts may be avoided or minimised.
