Your curiosity would inspire you to visit them, but you are not experienced divers or the depths terrify you. So how can we admire these wonders? If I, Hamid-Reza Khoyi, told you that it is now possible to immerse yourself in the wrecks without having to get wet, would you believe me? You should do it because virtual reality is possible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="50" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_heading subtitle="" delimiter_settings="delimiter_style:solid|delimiter_width:80|delimiter_height:1" undefined="" title_font_options="tag:h2" subtitle_font_options="tag:div"]

Almost unknown marine creatures, unexplored vegetation and home to many species and human creations. In the course of our history there are many human artifacts that have gone on the seabed. From shipwrecks, to statues, from clothes, to ceramics, the sea guards them and incorporates them with scrupulousness covering them with corals. In some cases such objects have become ideal habitats for some fishes so as to inspire famous artists in conjugating useful to the pleasant.
On the coasts of numerous countries of the world artists like Jason deCaires Taylor have created real underwater museums. Their purpose is not only to cheer up and make the visit of curious divers more enjoyable. They host works created in such a way as to interact perfectly with marine flora and fauna so much so as to be designed to become their home. In this way the artist, in addition to making his art known, manages to give a help to marine creatures so much in difficulty. Not everyone, however, until recently had the privilege of visiting these installations. Today, however, it is possible to do so without even having to get wet thanks to virtual underwater museums.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size="50" screen_normal_resolution="1024" screen_tablet_resolution="800" screen_mobile_resolution="480"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dfd_heading subtitle="" delimiter_settings="delimiter_style:solid|delimiter_width:80|delimiter_height:1" undefined="" title_font_options="tag:h2" subtitle_font_options="tag:div"]

The coasts of this nation are in fact surrounded by numerous wrecks and resulting treasures sunk for a long time that have always attracted many curious. The focus on the sunken treasures has been such as to create a national agency for the management of collections, sites and museums, the Underwater Cultural Heritage Unit (UCHU). Thanks to his work, the Virtual Underwater Museum platform has come to life, allowing visitors to visit underwater museums without the need to get wet. Through the use of special underwater light cameras the public can immerse themselves in the beauties of history sunk without the need to really dive.
In Italy it is also possible to do the same thing at the Museum of the Sea and the Costa Marcello Zei in Sabaudia. To explain the experience is Giulia Sirgiovanni, vice president of the Pangea Institute onlus:
"The viewers are the novelty of our small museum. We thought that for a place like this, it would be ideal, with a diver as a traveling companion and the noise of the air regulator. Nothing else. You can see barracuda, but also small glances, peacocks and a little Posidonia prairie. We hope it will be a way to get to know the marine environment better and then, with the opportunity, to get to know the rest of the museum that has so many things to present."
