First Polish expedition to Gallipoli

From 2-11 September, the first Polish wreck expedition will take place, tasked with exploring and documenting the condition of wrecks resting on the sea bed off Turkey’s Gallipoli peninsula. It was there that in 1915, condensed military operations took place. Although the main part of it took place on land, the naval episode left a clear mark on the seabed.

The portal Divrs24, is pleased to inform all lovers of diving, history and wreck diving, about taking under its patronage a Polish expedition, aimed at broadening our knowledge of the current state of vessels, which ended their service during one of the greatest battles of World War I.

The team, led by Piotr Wytykowski and Roman Zajder, will be in constant contact with our website, so you can expect frequent reports and multimedia materials from underwater. This will be a unique opportunity for you to get to know the wrecks of Gallipoli.

In addition to a mass of diving equipment, video and still cameras, sonar and an underwater robot known as an ROV will be used to create documentation.

All the formalities and paperwork are slowly coming to an end, which in this case involves a whole series of permits and various letters. Fortunately, the Turkish side is supporting the expedition with understanding, and the results will also go to the museum in Canakkale.

We encourage everyone who is interested in this topic to carefully follow the pages of our website, because it is here that the latest results of subsequent dives will be published.
