| Activities |
Within the NAS you can assist in the search for evidence of past marine activities in seas, rivers, lakes or on land. You can help survey historic wrecks and other archaeological sites
as well as receive training in underwater archaeological techniques. And why not help record and publish your new discoveries or help reconstruct and test early water-borne craft. The NAS also organises
conferences and lectures to clubs and societies. Importantly you choose your own involvement based on time available and level of expertise or simply sit back and read about current activities in the NAS newsletter or academic journal.

| Other information |
Under the Diving with a Purpose Initiative why not consider "adopting a wreck". This is aimed at those groups, clubs or individuals who regularly dive a site, and have developed more than a passing interest and are keen to get involved in research or site survey. This scheme will appeal to those wanting to take on a club project which will have a genuine scientific outcome. Information resulting from these projects will then be passed, with the name of the contributer, to the appropriate agency.
