Lola Higueras, the first female diver in the Spanish Navy and a pioneer in underwater archaeology, details her career documenting over 2,000 shipwrecks.3:07 As a former technical director at the Museo Naval in Madrid, she emphasizes that underwater archaeology requires more meticulous documentation than terrestrial excavation, as researchers must grid and map every element in situ.21:36 She identifies the high cost of maritime operations as the primary barrier to modern underwater research, advocating for international, multinational projects—such as the collaborative excavation of the *Juncal* in the Caribbean—to share the financial burden.24:05 Higueras highlights the scientific complexity of 18th-century naval expeditions, specifically the Malaspina and Bustamante voyage, which she cataloged extensively.17:28 She notes that while underwater exploration involves significant risks, including navigating submerged caves, the field remains essential for preserving maritime history.25:06 Her work underscores the necessity of protecting underwater cultural heritage through international cooperation and rigorous scientific standards.
