As a member of the Maritime Archeological Survey Team (MAST), I also am pleased to serve on the board.  These are some great people and even better volunteers.  On May 18,2014, we conducted the in-water training session for the basic underwater archeology class at White Star Quarry in Gibsonburg, OH.  During this portion of the training, students use the measuring and documentation skills they learned in the classroom environment, while scuba diving.  Everyone finds out how different it is during an actual scuba dive vs. dry land.

Hopefully my images will give you some sense of how the divers, use a tape measure, record their data on their clip board and actually try to measure the features of an archeological site.  It really is a fun activity!
