There are still two weeks left to contribute to the WreckMap Britain 2006 scheme run by the Nautical Archaeology Society (NAS). The project aims to get UK divers to collect and report basic archaeological and biological information about a wreck site that they have dived on between 1 April and 2 October 2006.
Divers simply need to record on a slate what they see on a wreck site and report it back to the NAS. The society is asking divers to record basic, but specific, information about what they see and to make a simple, 'swim-over' or profile sketch of the dive.
The best reports are in with a chance of winning one of several prizes including: a SeaLife DC500 camera including strobe and underwater housing provided by Dive Master Insurance; a torch and BC or computer from The Dive Connection, Portsmouth; and the Shipwreck Index of the British Isles by Richard & Bridget Larn provided by the NAS.
