Rare underwater footage documents divers mapping a 2000-year-old shipwreck off the southern coast of Greece
A team of underwater divers are mapping the site of the ancient shipwreck (circa 60 BC) of Antikythera island (circa 60BC) in southern Greece with an autonomous robot equipped stereo cameras and sonar.
The divers are aided in their excavation of the wreck with Exosuits, a one-of-a-kind diving system which allows divers to descend to 1000 feet (300+ m) and stay for hours, without having to decompress on the way back to the surface. The shipwreck was discovered by sponge divers in 1900 and has yielded hundreds of art works, including a clockwork device, the famous Anitkythera mechanism
