Respect War Graves
Many wrecks are also war graves. Treat them with the respect you would give
a churchyard
Respect the Wreck
Environment
Many wrecks make great habitats for marine life. Treat them with the care
you would give to coral reefs
Respect the Future
Explore wrecks, where allowed, but don't damage or disturb them. Take photos
rather than souvenirs, so that our wrecks remain for future divers to see
Respect our History
Many wrecks have an important history and hold clues to our maritime past.
If you find anything, report it to the Receiver of Wreck, who will pass on
such information to archaeological experts
Respect Yourself
Make sure that you are appropriately trained for safe wreck diving
Respect Your Family and
Friends
Some wrecks contain dangerous cargoes or live munitions. Don't disturb them
or bring them ashore
Respect the Law
Know and respect maritime laws - and avoid a criminal record
