D .
The clear waters attract some of the world’s best underwater divers. The International Academy of
Underwater Sciences, which was set up to encourage underwater exploration, is based in Ustica. (1)____.
Dr Honor Frost, a Bristish underwater archaeologist and Golden Triden winner, believes that Ustica
shows that some underwater remains are best life in the surroundings where they have been preserved for
centuries. (2) ____.
According to Frost, the establishment of the underwater museum has made an interesting area of sea
floor, together with the objects which fell to it in antiquity, safe for future study. (3) ____
For example, it is puzzling that only iron anchors of quite a late date seem to have been lost there,
despite local evidence of sea trade during a period nearly four thousand years ago, when stone anchors would
have been in use. Among the anchors and other remains there are an extraordinary number of Roman millstones,
which were widely traded throughout the ancient world. (4) _____.
A
Many questions remain to be answered about the museum site.
B
However, this section of the museum, although already accessible to diving visitors, still contains
material of interest to researchers.
