Archaeologists have been discovering artifacts from the ancient treasure ship that sunk near Antikythera Island, Greece. Originally discovered in 1900, this Roman ship possessed the famous Antikythera Mechanism which has sometimes been referred to as the first analog computer.

What makes this exploration even more unique is the use of an amazing new diving apparatus, the Exosuit, that has been repeatedly likened to the armor worn by Marvel’s Iron Man.

Earlier this year, I was invited by the American Museum Of Natural History to a press preview of this suit which weighs over 500 pounds and permits an individual to remain submersed for much longer than previously permitted because of extreme water pressure and oxygen demands. As representatives noted, despite its size and weight, the suit allows those who use it to maintain the dexterity and maneuverability to perform delicate tasks, such as sampling and imaging marine biodiversity with high-resolution underwater cameras.
