Some alternatives are being reviewed to let one enjoy visiting such sumberged monuments under the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria: 1) Transfering them out of the sea to the rlevant museum. 2) Installation of a highly durable glass tube forming an underwater unique museum. 3) Dedicating a submarine to move around. Same way is already adopted in the Red Sea around the fantastic coral reefs and underwater gardens. HOWEVER
4) Divers and those who are capable to exercise such underwater sport have no problem - for sure. How lovely if one could do it! Relevant clubs are available here...

Divers led by French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio used global satellite positioning devices to map out the royal quarter, lying five meters (17 feet) under water, not far from the busy modern city seafront. Dear Mr. Goddio! I find myself obliged to thank you and your 35 divers' team.

The mission succeeded in cleaning up and preparing for tourist divers the location of Mark Antony's palace, the Timonium. It also cleaned up the wreckage of an ancient 35-metre wooden ship that lies on the bottom of Alexandria's harbour. Two gold coins dating to the second century AD were discovered during the operations, as well as the limbs of a statue of Ptolemy II.
