Welcome to Dive & Dig presented by Bettany Hughes and Dr Lucy Blue, the podcast that takes you on an underwater journey deeper than you might ever have imagined! We'll take you down into an undiscovered world of our ancient past thanks to the technology which makes deep diving possible today. And we'll show you some amazing archaeological discoveries when we get there.

In Episode Four Bettany and Lucy into the world of underwater archaeology and are joined by Timmy Gambin who is diving on a Phoenician shipwreck in 110m of water. In this episode we find out what happens when a ship sinks and what cutting-edge techniques help archaeologists analyse the remains and tell the story today. We also discover how the Phoenician's developed trade in textile dyes and what rowers might have been smoking to help get them through the hard times!
