The Greek team is being assisted by Brendan Foley, a marine archaeologist from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at Massachusetts in the US, which was involved in a dive to the wreck of the Titanic. He has helped with outings to identify ancient shipwrecks over the past five years.
"We may find one or more monumental statues that were left behind in 1901, in the mistaken belief that they were rocks," Foley said.
As well as the Exosuit, the Antikythera expedition will also use robot mapping equipment and new advanced closed-circuit "rebreathers", which will allow divers much more time underwater.
"We will have more bottom time than any previous human visitors to the site, because we dive with mixed gas rebreathers," the expedition's website says.
"Each diver will have more than 30 minutes of bottom time per day, and will enjoy greater mental acuity and a larger safety margin than that of previous divers at Antikythera."
As Travelers Cut Costs, Holiday Jaunts Grow Longer
By MICHELINE MAYNARD
The holiday crush at the nation’s airports has taken hold several days earlier as travelers sought less expensive flights.
Part of the difficulty in confidently or even tentatively predicting the outcome of the election is the country's negative view of both Mr. Trump and Ms. Harris, with both of their favorability ratings underwater. Mr. Trump is easily winning on most of the issues that matter most to voters, but he is losing badly to Ms. Harris on who has the character and temperament to serve as president.
ratings are underwater (meaning more disapprovers than approvers).
