French diver and wreck hunter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michel Météry (born February 2, 1938, in Montélimar), is a diver and wreck hunter, who notably discovered the Wrecks of Saint-Pierre harbor in Martinique in the early 1980s.
He left for Martinique in 1972. He was the director of the Latitude Hotel in Le Carbet and then of the UCPA diving base in Saint-Pierre, Martinique.
During his dives, he discovered the wrecks of the boats that sank during the 1092 volcanic eruption of Mount Pelée on May 8, 1902
From his discoveries, Michel Météry wrote a book Tamaya - The Wrecks of Saint-Pierre, which was pefaced by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Albert Falco.[1]
In a 2005 article on diving in Martinique, Christophe de Chenay in Le Monde, referred to Météry's discoveries.[2]
Here is the list of wrecks discovered by Météry:[3][1] The anchorage area around these wrecks is now protected.[4]
