Artificial reefs - applications as dive sites

Thu Dec 27 08:50:19 EST 2001

Clear DayHello!

I am a student in Tel-Aviv University, looking for any available information on the application of artificial reefs as dive sites/marine parks.Is there any information on artificial reefs designed purposely for attracting divers, operating like an underwater marine park?  I would like to know if there is any information on the approximate number of visitors (divers) to artificial reefs in general (including shipwrecks, planned artificial reefs etc.), and in artificial reefs planned for recreational activities in particular. Any information, references, numbers, concerning such applications of artificial reefs would be very helpful.

Thank you!
