Team members have been arriving in Antikythera
from around the world over the last few days, using all modes of transport
ranging from the standard ferries, to a helicopter transit provided by our good
friends at Costa Navarino.
Our two dive boats from Crete and Alimos are in
Antikythera, with the mother ship, MV Glaros due shortly, which is generously
provided by the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation.
Thousands of kilograms of equipment and
supplies have also been arriving, literally tonnes of material to support
diving operations and the team for the next few weeks. The main task for this
week is preparation, ready for first dives on the wreck on Sunday or Monday,
depending on the weather.
Some may not realize how logistically demanding
this project is, taking science to new limits on a number of fronts.
Stay tuned!
