Abstract

After many years of individual attempts to explore the underwater cultural heritage (UCH) of Egypt, the Supreme Council for Antiquities (SCA) established a department specializing in the field during the last decade of the twentieth century.

This article presents the most important discoveries and displays the efforts of the SCA in the management of the UCH.
