For centuries divers have been raising treasures from the sea. Today archaeologists can excavate at previously unimaginable depths, using sophisticated technology to provide invaluable information about our past. This book highlights the danger and excitement of this work, and shows the painstaking research involved in exploring our unique underwater heritage.

A cracking book,loads of period pics and modern colour photos.I did like to think that I had a good knowledge of underwater archaeology and a book collection to match but there's tons of stuff new to me here. Forget the rest and buy this one.I can't recommend it enough.
