Mission 2014: Discover Underwater Archaeology
Rising out of the cobalt blue seas of Sicily’s northeastern coast, the Unesco- protected Aeolian Islands are a little piece of paradise, a magical outdoor playground offering thrills and spills at every turn. Thanks to the special partnership with the Soprintendenza del Mare and the Municipality of Lipari we will have a FREE unlimited access to all the restricted archaeological dive sites of the Archipelago. Only with us you will explore ancient roman’s wrecks from the I Century AC, never touched by humans, full of amphoras and mystery. Divers will be involved in the first archaeological survey of the Aeolian’ Sea with the support of new and innovative scientific research instruments: Sonar Scanner 3D, Multibeam Echoesounder, ROV and AUV.
We will realize the first videodocumentary of five Roman’s wrecks using at the same time optical and acoustic instruments creating a full 3D map of the seabed.
All GUE divers, from Fundy to RB level could join the project and get the Free Unlimited Archaeo Pass to dive where none has never dived before.
A big challenge and a great opportunity to improve your diving skills, knowledge and attitude with the supervision of archaeologists and scientists. A multidisciplinary work program and a real experience of true exploration.
To guarantee the best and safe dives we will accept at maximum six divers per week, check out on www.gue.com how to join us in this incredible new adventure!
Testing the new Konsber MS1000 Sonar Scanner
We are working together with the Italian Carabinieri and the OGS to test a new system to get HD 3D imaging and profiling of the seabed. We will use the new Konsberg MS1000 Sonar Scanner in the deep Roman wrecks of Panarea to create a 3D Virtual Map of the sites.
Using acoustic systems to detect the seabed will give us the possibility to expand our knowledge and collect data with an unmatcheable definition.
- 3D profiling possible with rotating device
- Track Plotter module allows user to plot scanned area, geo-reference targets and create GeoTIFFs
- Target tracking
- Simultaneous multi-head operation
- Coordinate system support – supports local coordinate system for different countries and territories
