Marine archeology

Traces of past civilizations are often to be found bellow the water surface. Whether they are submerged harbours, old jetties, ancient settlements and fortresses or shipwrecks, they can be studied in detail using acoustic methods or remote controlled vehicles. The detailed bathymetry scanning and side–scan sonar imagery can signal the presence of old traces of human activity, and the use of a sub–bottom profiler can picture even buried structures. ROV dives and inspections can zoom in the picture by providing photographs and films of the interest site with the full–HD camera.
