In a joint expedition of Greek and international archaeologists and scientists, a shipwreck in Antikythera that was discovered just off the coast of Antikythera in the southern Aegean Sea, will be again explored. Experts from around the globe will dive down the shipwreck hoping to “surface” secrets that still remain hidden in its depths. Sponge divers from the island of Symi were the first to discover the shipwreck back in 1900-1901, with the aid of the Royal Navy. French marine archaeologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau was to bring new reports in 1976. However, with the aid of new technologies, this new mission is expected to take scientist much closer to the shipwreck, while a research conducted in 2012 and 2013 by the islands of Crete and Antikythera, in cooperation with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Greece’s Underwater Antiquities Department, suggested the possible presence of a second shipwreck in the area.

The expedition is due September 15. Its cost is estimated at about 2 to 3 million dollars and will be funded by Swiss watchmaker Hublot and other Greek, American and Swiss companies.
