Carl van Dijk

Carl van Dijk is a passionate diver with a special love for shipwrecks and underwater archaeology. His adventures often take him to the Wadden Sea and the North Sea, where he investigates historical wrecks and unearths stories. From 17th century wooden ships to modern finds such as the Palmhout Wreck, Carl sees every wreck as a time capsule that reveals valuable secrets.

His expertise and involvement in special projects, such as the discovery of the German U31 submarine, have made him an established name in the world of underwater research. A highlight of his career was his participation in the final archaeological investigation of the Roman wreck at Albenga. Here he had a unique diving experience among thousands of amphorae, of which he made impressive film footage.

During Duikvaker 2025 Carl will share his knowledge and passion in an inspiring presentation about the 2000 year old shipwreck of Albenga. Don't miss it!
