There is the adopt a wreck scheme, perfect for diver clubs who would like to take official control of a wreck they may know about and visit often. Any data collected through this program can be contributed to the NAS’s knowledge of maritime site. There are more than 120 wrecks adopted so far.

If you live in the U.K., there is also a diving club run through NAS. It aims to help divers develop skills that will serve them well when exploring new wrecks.
