This is how I thought
A, D - Eliminate - It is not the shallow water but where the ship wreck is.
E - Eliminate - Use of "it" is wrong.

Left with B & C - Both use " where " which is correct.

C - " Including " seems to say that there may be more types of people. 

 Hence B is the answer.

About to choose B.

The only hesitation is the word "whether", whether should be used for a choice between two things, whether A or B.

In this question, "whether" is referring to three choices, archaeloigist, treasure hunter or sport diver??!!

Why? Can anyone please explain? THANKS!!
