Gemma and Ian chat to Dave Conlin. Dave was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado and knew early on he wanted to be an Underwater Archaeologist. He is part of the National Park Service’s Submerged Resources Centre, diving on shipwrecks in the USA and around the world. Landmark projects include work on the B-29 Superfortress that crashed into Lake Mead in 1948, and work on the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor. We chat to him about his involvement with the USS Arizona.
