DiveSafe Project

DiveSafe project (divesafe.eu/) is devoted to integrate a number of diving-related technologies, equipment and apps into a comprehensive solution allowing for more efficient and safe scientific and professional diving missions.
Underwater sites are obviously difficult to access and more hazardous, compared to dry land. Engineers, archaeologists, architects and underwater technicians work together to integrate SoTA technologies, in order to deliver to the diving market (primarily professional/scientific and secondarily recreational) an innovative product that will allow divers to safely and efficiently conduct underwater surveys for accomplishing tasks related to the study of underwater cultural and environmental heritage. Visual census photographic and photogrammetric documentation, exploration of unknown areas, search and recovery, touristic visit of wide underwater sites can be conducted more safely thanks to the DiveSafe system.
The DiveSafe system will be tested in selected underwater pilot sites: Marine Protected Area ‘Capo Rizzuto’, Italy; ‘Fournoi - Agios Minas channel’, Greece; ‘Caesarea Maritima’ & ‘Achziv or Shiqmona’, Israel
