How I Became an Underwater Archaeologist

How did this happen? Here's the lowdown on my unconventional route to underwater archaeology land.

This inspires me <3 i'm looking forward to archeology and maritime anthropology. I'm a graduating senior and am taking up anthropology in college here in the Philippines. Thank you very much.

i studied anthropology and now im studying history i always wanted to be an archeologiste 💔

Bro can you tell me what to select after 12th grade for becoming marine archeologist. Plzz

I read in the comments you said jobs are rare for this. Would you have to take vacation time from your regular gig/job and go sign on for an underwater job? Im more wondering how you get to do both when the time arises to be specific. Thank you ahead of time if you respond!

Thank you so much for your video <3 I am currently studying Architectural Engineering & I am planning to continue my studies in Archaeology and specifically underwater archaeology. However, I don't know how to swim or dive and I get sea sick. Do you know anyone that happens to have the same circumstances but still went for it ? :)

How much vacation time do you get off as an underwater archeologist??

Hello Can somebody please help me?. I am in class 9 basically 14 year old . I am planning to be a marine Archeologist but I am very confused about which field should be take like science, arts which degree we should have or how many years it take to become one . What exactly should i do??. Plus in my surrounding there is no one who is Archeologist so no one to ask. I searched it in Google, YouTube but still can't understand so this is the only way . Hope you'll can understand what I am trying to say .

@kinkellateachesarchaelogy Thank you so much for your stewardship. I just found your channel, butvbefore I found your videos I had only used my imagination on how I was gonna try to couple plant sciences/botany with history. I am interested in botany, phycology and limnology. But I am also interested in studying the history of shipwrecks. If my major is going to be plant sciences how do I get to the title of "maritime archaeologist?" Can I study science and take history or anthro courses leading into maritime archaeology or will I have to step away from science to get a degree in archeology in order to do the marine side of archeology. Again my main interest is the marine side of this profession and going into a STEM career that branches into underwater eco systems and relationships between land plants and marine plants. I see a relationship between them all. Or am I doing too much? Again thanks for your awesome videos Professor.

I just found out about marine archeology and found it really fun looking. Is it hard to get into it?
Great video by the way😁

Hi! I came across this video in hopes of finding someone explaining how one gets into maritime/underwater archaeology and this was definitely helpful. I was wondering if it would be possible if I could contact you via email or anything you're available on, to know more and get some advice on how to go about it. I'm 18 and confused about how, or where, to apply and go about this. Would really appreciate if I could have a few minutes of your time! :)

I'm looking to become an Underwater Archaeologist. I have been looking at BA programs the past few months and debating what major I should go for. I'm not sure whether i should apply for Archaeology or Marine Studies. Would either of them benefit me more if i was to become an underwater archaeologist or are they equally good choices? When i was reading the description for Marine Studies at the colleges I'm looking at, they both said it would prepare me for a MA program in underwater archaeology if i were to go forward in my studies, but i'm just wondering if Archaeology would be the better route?

My ambition is to become an marine archaologist

[autumnl]

I had no clue that there was underwater archaeology!

[Eyekiller.]

Hii I am looking for marine archaeology...what course should I take to study this after 12th standard??? Please tell me

[letsnotgothere]

Living in NC, there should be an ok amount of local work out in the Graveyard of the Atlantic, right?

I've always loved swimming in the water whenever I'd visit my family in SoCal, or do anything water related, but I've never taken any diving classes before. Although i am more of a mountain hiking and camping kind of person, I am currently planning on visiting Santa Barbara this summer hopefully and i am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for any beginner diving diving classes to see if this is my thing?

[kobra]

Kinkella teaches archeology at what age did you do your 1st underwater diving project and is the pay good to becoming rich?

[inbluwoods]

huh this is really interesting, I’ve always loved diving but never really thought about it as something that could be used in a career.

Hi! I've always been interested in prehistoric archaeology even when I was in first grade I'm 15 now and I've become even more interested in it but as well as maritime archaeology would that be possible to do?
