If you're a good Swimmer and Diver

There is a potential £14bn up for grabs on the seabed of the coast of Columbia although there is a pecking order and queue.

The fraught battle over the holy grail of shipwrecks

Colombia and a US firm are fighting over a shipwreck in the Caribbean Sea that could be worth $18bn.

Blimey, the jobs are mounting up for the forum salvage crew, have we appointed a team leader yet?

I'm in, but only if there's a job on dry land.

I'm not going in the water, it'll make my hair go frizzy and I've just had my dinner (my mum said you can go swimming on a full stomach, for some reason).

And you might get verrucas and die

Ever wonder how it differs from archeology digging up sites like
Pompeii calling them amazing discoveries but if it’s under water it’s protected as a graveyard?

If you want a job with slightly less travel?
I'll offer £50 retrieval fee for a fishing rod that's about a mile off lyme regis...

My days of messing about in the sea are long over. I'm out. (seriously - doesn't matter how much is involved, it would kill me.) The problem with working at depth in an Oxygen rich atmosphere is you become, or appear to become much stronger than you actually are and you can easily injure yourself in unimaginable ways.

Once youve got that Ill give you a rough idea where to look for my first Rolex.

A job for Jason Statham (anyone seen The Meg).

Think @Parm is team leader on the other outstanding job.
But with the Malta boat in the channel, close to our main WW2,
(Richard Montgomery) problem it might be better to set up a separate Co.
Plenty of redundant CEOs and board members about at present.
If we can get a large Gov Grant to move the Maltese /Russian boat it would be a good start.

While we were all dithering the Mast job on the Richard montgomery has been done so that ones gone.
The Ruby full of ammonium nitrate is still anchored 17 miles off the north foreland but it is said it may go to Lithuainia to unload.
The sunken galleon sounds a plum job to me, crates of emeralds & gold etc & the water is warmer. The downside is getting embroiled with legions of lawyers so perhaps give that job a miss!
