Fieldwork

Due to the remote and challenging location of the Pandora wreck, expedition teams have always included people with a mix of experience, qualifications, skills and talents.

During the 1990s, expedition teams usually comprised:

• eight to ten diving archaeologists
• six to fourteen assisting divers
• at least one conservator
• a finds registrar
• an underwater photographer
• an underwater video camera operator
• two dive technicians
• a dive supervisor
• a medical doctor with experience in hyperbaric medicine.

In 1998 and 1999, the expedition teams comprised 40 to 45 people.
