ABOUT US
We are dedicated to the protection of our oceans and the preservation of maritime history. Our mission is twofold: to safeguard the marine environment and to discover, protect, and conserve historical shipwrecks. We believe that both our natural marine ecosystems and the remnants of human endeavors lost at sea hold irreplaceable value.
Through sustainable conservation efforts, research, and public education, we aim to preserve these vital aspects of our marine heritage for future generations. Our team of dedicated professionals and volunteers works tirelessly to ensure that the stories of our oceans and the history beneath the waves are not only protected but shared with the world.
By engaging with communities and fostering partnerships, we seek to inspire a deep respect for the marine world and its history. Together, we can protect these treasures and pass them on to the future, ensuring that our shared marine legacy remains vibrant and enduring.
OUR MISSION
Our mission at International Underwater Marine Association is to protect and preserve the vital elements of our marine world—both its natural environments and its historical heritage.

We strive to ensure that future generations inherit a healthier ocean and a richer understanding of the maritime past. Through research, conservation, and community engagement, we aim to raise awareness, inspire stewardship, and foster a deep connection to our shared marine heritage.
Together, we can protect the beauty, history, and life beneath the waves for the benefit of all.
