Scientific diver in a research project





The project is meant to represent a possible model for interdisciplinary action between the Scientific and diving communities. The diver in the project will not be 'just a diver', but, thanks to the support of the scientific institution, will take on the task of a Scientific Diving Operator in making diving, conservation and protection as well as training, whose sole purpose is the achievement od scientific, educational, informative and the protection of the environment and/or historical archeology. For example" through sampling, measurements, experiments, stratigraphic excavations, surveys and recoveries. This practice is now so widespread that one can say there is no great scientific institution in the world that does not have at least one sector using underwater divers to carry out their programs of study. Ultimately it comes to getting youe hands wet, not only to sample or perform other specific tasks, and eyes to see, but also, and above all, the intelligence and discernment of specially trained divers. This possibility has led to a maajor advancement in the knowledge of the underwater world to explore, measure, collect, observe and recognize, but above all to understand. The possibilities of dive science depends not only on the degree of preparation of the technical diver, but especially by his cultural background. The cultural background of the diver is the true innovation of the research project, which, thanks to the direct involvement of its scientific directors, will organize a specific documentation training course for divers involved in the project.
