Wrecks, Caves, Scooters and Rebreathers

Operation TRIADE

From October 1998 to December 2001, this extensive project was one of the main focal points of the French diving-related media. More than 20 major wrecks were located in France and Italy, between -80 and -130 meters. During this project, a movie was produced and presented to several film festivals. A book was co-written by Jean-Pierre Joncheray, french underwater archeologist, and Cedric Verdier.
