From somebody who's been involved in underwater treasure hunting for over 25 years I can tell you that underwater artifacts do not stay under water for long if there are scuba divers in the area. Too many people have sticky fingers and if were talking about the Third World, people need to eat. To prove my point There was a program on not too long ago about the effects of radiation still in Bikini atoll and the interesting part about the program was they were telling everybody that this area was a protected area and no one could take anything from the wrecks. Then about two scenes later they showed the diver coming up with a compass in his hand. Just human nature I suppose.

Hi, hows it going. I live down here in Florida and I can let you know some good and bad news good for someone wanting to set up a boat for TH but bad for the ones selling. In this economy a lot of the regional fishermen are puting their boats up for sale. Most are very seaworthy and good size. You just have to dump the nets and they already have winches most have live aboard cabins and good holds. Add a good compressor and some tank racks and your good. Most already have gps and radio equipment. The only real problem is getting rid of the fish smell!!!!!!!
