Abstract
Programs to enable sport divers to participate in archaeological projects are widespread, effective, and popular. Once trained, however, divers may have difficulty finding a project that can take volunteers. The Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) is embarking on a new program in public engagement in underwater archaeology to address this issue. The Submerged Sites Education and Archaeological Stewardship program (SSEAS) is intended to train sport divers in methods of non-disturbance archaeological recording and then give these trained divers a mission.
