The UASBC is a 175 member group of volunteer, avocational underwater archaeologists. We are mostly from British Columbia but also have members who live all over North America. The Society is the largest diving club in British Columbia, and one of the largest and most active heritage organisations in the province. The UASBC assists archaeologists by undertaking worthwhile projects not currently addressed by professionals. Inventories of shipwrecks and other submerged cultural sites are an especially important contribution. Information about the location, history, and status of these resources is vital to their conservation and management. 1, record 3, English, - Underwater%20Archaeological%20Society%20of%20British%20Columbia
