The International Underwater Archaeology Forum is dedicated to fostering discussion and intrigue around projects related to underwater archaeology.

The Search for Underwater Relics Start with Curiosity

Our oceans are full of relics from the past—lost, forgotten, or dismissed as fantasy over the years. Our mission is to uncover these ocean relics, share our discoveries with those who are curious, and inspire a sense of wonder within the community.

The International Underwater Archaeology Forum is a place that welcomes all forms of discussion related to our past, current and future investigations. These discussions along with the sharing of any resources or literature related to the investigation is greatly appreciated.

Let’s explore our oceans, join the discussions, and uncover the history the past has left for us.
