Destruction
An object that has been immersed for a long
period in saltwater and is recovered from the
seabed faces a risk of rapid deterioration when
brought into contact with air.
Looting
Many underwater archaeological sites have
already fallen prey to heavy pillage and theft.
Insufficient legal protection
In many States, the lack of legal protection means
that there is nothing to prevent the exploitation and
appropriation of objects from underwater sites by
treasure hunters.

73. Choosing the Quait Bey Fortress
.ѣIt is a well known building, very famous for tourists.
.It is the aim of one of the former governments.
.ѫIt is the aim of this government as well.
.өThe presence of northern passages for the diving center.
.ѳThe presence of two doors leading to the diving site.
.ѵThe assumed diving center is just a few foot steps away
from the diving site.
.ґThe presence of many vacant rooms aliened with the
diving center, which would fit as a culture center.
