Description

Dive beneath the waves — not literally, of course — and explore a world where history sleeps beneath the sea. The Basics of Marine Archaeology Course offers a clear, well-explained introduction to the underwater clues that help us piece together the story of humankind. From sunken ships to forgotten harbours, this course walks you through the key methods and concepts used to study submerged heritage, all from the comfort of dry land.

Whether you’re fascinated by shipwrecks, ancient coastlines or submerged cities, this course blends storytelling with science to keep things interesting. You'll learn how experts analyse underwater finds, what tools are used, and how discoveries are recorded and preserved. There’s no need for diving suits or flippers – just curiosity, an internet connection, and a desire to understand the world beneath the surface.
