Wrecks of Kolobrzeg

ARCHEOLOGY PROJECT

Wrecks of Kołobrzeg is a scientific research initiative of the Museum of Polish Arms. The project started in 2016 with the main goal of undersea explorations in the area of Kołobrzeg. Teams of underwater archaeologists have been working on archaeological sites and historical wrecks. In-terrain actions involve research and extraction of historical elements (and sometimes even the whole wrecks!). Afterwards, local museums and scientific facilities put more light on the past of these discoveries.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

TecLine equipment is regularly tested during explorations and researches carried out by Wrecks of Kolobrzeg Team. As a dive gear manufacturer, we are proud that our equipment meets the trust of such demanding tasks. After all, it is one of the best ways to prove the reliability of our products.

The Museum of Polish Arms invites to collaboration! People who have any information about historic monuments, which should be placed in historical museums are welcome to contact: email alekost@wp.pl ,

DISINFECTION

Diving equipment should be immersed in ethyl alcohol (this may be rectified spirit) for 30 minutes. The alcohol may be diluted with boiled water (in room temperature) and/or hydrogen peroxide. It is recommended that the solution keeps minimum of 60% pure alcohol. Attention! Do not use ultrasonic cleaners for this disinfection. The alcohol can rinse out lubricants from important elements of the 2nd stage regulators.

We would like to encourage you to prepare a homemade disinfectant recommended by the WHO (link). This liquid can be used for everyday use.The recipe for this disinfectant is as follows: – 100ml ethyl alcohol (spirit), – 15ml of hydrogen peroxide, – 5ml of glycerine or aloe vera gel, – 50ml of boiled water (in room temperature).

PRECAUTIONS

We all hope that the situation will improve quickly and allow us to go diving again – at least in local waters.
If it will be the case, we encourage you to temporarily modify the procedures which involve any contact with the saliva of other people.

During the buddy-checks, present the equipment functioning at distance
(the partner observes but does not check the regulator by taking any test breaths).

Do not rent/borrow a diving mask without prior disinfection.

Resign from “out of gas” situation exercises.

In a real “out of gas” situation follow the normal safety procedures. After the safe ascent, pay attention to the equipment used by the receiver, do not reuse it and subject it to full disinfection as soon as possible.

We hope that the coronavirus pandemic will be stopped shortly.
Looking forward to meet you soon at our favourite diving spots!
