WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

The Bite-Sized Training for All project will provide free online interactive training for current and prospective Protected Wreck Licensees to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the Protection of Wrecks Act (1973). This will encourage increased interaction, improved monitoring and streamlined management of Protected Wrecks whilst reaching new audiences to encourage increased diversity in Protected Wreck Site engagement.

A series of short, jargon-free, training sessions will be held online, aimed at supporting existing licensees as well as reaching new areas of the recreational diving community. The online training will also be on YouTube to watch on catch-up in perpertuity.
