The 2017 fieldschool will be held on the Nissia Wreck in 28m of water off the coast of Famagusta Bay. Participants will be able to contribute to genuine research on this important site, which is being studied by the University of Cyprus Maritime Archaeological Research Laboratory.
The 2017 Fieldschool
Minimum diving qualification: PADI Advanced Openwater and “Enriched Air Diver” (or equivalent) with a minimum of 25 dives. The Enriched Air Diver course can be undertaken at the beginning of the fieldschool for about 60 euro). It would be an advantage to hold the PADI “Deep Diver” specialty but this is not required. All divers attending must have DAN insurance in order to participate.
Cost £1,500 (UK Pounds). Cost includes all tuition, certification, all internal travel, accommodation, food, diving air, cylinder hire, and excursions. Price does not include travel to Cyprus or any additional equipment hire.
Students who are awarded scholarships will be expected to pay £200.00 to attend the fieldschool.
Students who are not awarded a scholarship will be expected to pay a deposit of £500.00 (UK Pounds) to secure their place by the 26th March 2017. This will only be refundable if cancellation occurs before the 30th April 2017, but only if the vacant place is taken by another participant. A £50.00 administration charge will be applied to any cancellations.
Final balance payments will be required by the 18th June 2017.
