Explore | Preserve | Educate
To build understanding & awareness of WA’s natural history through exploration & preservation of deep shipwrecks & education of the community. WreckSploration is an Incorporated Association registered in October 2022 for the purpose of creating photogrammetry models of shipwrecks outside of the depth range of normal SCUBA. The WreckSploration team was inspired after a
ttending at talk at OzTek 2022 by Dr Matt Carter from Major Projects Foundation. As passionate divers who are all involved in fostering the diving community in Western Australia we are often asked for more details by our peers and the wider community about the ‘deep wrecks’, and photos can only do so much. After Dr Carter's presentation we realised that photogrammetry of these wrecks would be the perfect medium through which to bring them to life for the wider community.. Using our technical diving skills; the WreckSploration Team aims to create photogrammetry models at depths that other divers are unable to reach. Preservation of these wrecks, through the models, will build understanding and awareness of Western Australia’s shipwrecks, and assist with the education of the community on this history lying just off our coast. The WreckSploration team have the support of the WA Museum and Maritime Archaeological Association of Western Australia.
