Approximately 50 aquamarine-colored glass ingots from the Early Roman period were recovered from the Adrasan Hacıvatburnu wreck.

An olive oil amphora of Gazan origin was recovered from the Kaş Besmi Island underwater excavation (9th-10th century AD). Olive pits, 1000-1100 years old, were found inside an amphora from the wreck.

We started excavating the 9th-10th century shipwreck at Kaş's Besmi Island as part of the "Heritage for Future" project.

As part of the Ministry of Culture’s "Heritage for the Future" project, we currently employ a team of 10 people, including 5 underwater archaeologists, 2 restorers, 2 restoration assistants, and 1 captain. Within the same project, we have also put our second boat into operation for winter dives—a 145 HP, 8-meter-long vessel.

The Underwater Archaeology Center Laboratory of Akdeniz University has been officially certified as a laboratory by the Ministry of Culture. The conservation and restoration of artifacts recovered from the sea have begun at this facility.

A Ford Ranger pickup truck was purchased by AXA Türkiye for use in winter diving operations.

We have started underwater archaeology studies on sunken ships at greater depths. In this field, we are collaborating with Hoytek, an Ankara-based ROV manufacturer.

CMAS has sent Scientific Diving Cards to UNESCO.

Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy visited the UPL ship and the Kumluca excavation site, where he made two dives.

With the contributions of our association, two international programs will be held between May 14-23, 2025.
