Location description: This is an all-day event beginning at our Old Town dock at the corner of Greene and Elizabeth streets. Check in at 8:20 AM for a 9:00 AM departure. Travel 30 miles to the west of Key West as you listen to an audio presentation about the historic Senora Nuestra de Atocha and the rest of the doomed Spanish fleet. An informative and entertaining talk is given..
Your lunch is provided as well as any dive equipment you may need. The main cultural deposit of the treasure site in 55 feet is your first dive destination with a second dive on a nearby reef in 35-40 fsw. The treasure site is being reconstructed as an archaeological marine park and will resemble as closely as possible its state when first located. The cost is $250 per person and upon completion you will be mailed a certificate authenticating your participation in this unique experience.
Aboard the Atocha were some of the highest ranking nobility of the Kings New World territories. The nobility carried their personal wealth aboard the Atocha along with hundreds of millions of dollars in New World plunder.
The Atocha`s manifest, discovered in the Archives of the Indies in Seville, Spain confirmed that the Atocha carried in excess of 47 tons of gold and silver. Also manifested were hundreds of thousands of coins and artifacts that, in today`s world, could only be described as priceless.
In 1985, after a sixteen year long search, Mel Fisher, the ``Worlds Greatest Treasure Hunter`` fulfilled his life long ambition to discover a lost Spanish Galleon laden with New World treasure. His quest was the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, the Admiralta of a fleet of ships bound for Spain and the Kings treasury. The Atocha was lost in a savage hurricane and remained elusive to treasure hunters for nearly four hundred years.
The Atocha`s most significant marine archaeological deposit has been carefully preserved and the tools developed to record this historic site have been recreated. This will afford divers an opportunity to personally experience the processes used in the recovery of Atocha artifacts and the meticulous methodologies used to record the archaeological data from the site.
The site of the Atocha`s main cultural deposit is a compendium of archaeological, historical and cultural knowledge never seen before. The Atocha`s discovery produced the most significant assemblage of period artifacts ever recovered from this era.
Each Atocha Dive Expedition will be a full day adventure. Divers will be introduced to the basics in marine archaeology and the history of the search, discovery and eventual recovery of the Atocha`s cargo. These programs were developed to highlight the importance of the preservation of our marine archaeological resources through a cooperative effort between the archaeological and treasure hunting communities.
