Below the surface of British Columbia's lakes, rivers, and coastal waters lies a fascinating history. Shipwrecks, villages, and even a campsite covered by a rising ocean almost 10,000 years ago, provide a rich variety of sites for maritime archaeology.
The Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia (UASBC), is a non-profit group, who have worked systematically since 1975 to search for, locate, identify, survey, and protect many historic shipwrecks, and other historic resources, for the benefit of future generations.
Whether you are a wreck diver, historian, archaeologist, or are simply fascinated by our underwater heritage in British Columbia, Canada, the UASBC invites you to join us on our next adventure!
