Step into the wetsuit of researcher Kagavas and embark on a six-episode odyssey across Kalymnos, where centuries-old sponge-diving traditions meet cutting-edge VR. You’ll trace every evolution—from the free-fall skandalopetra and hand-thrown spear to the brass-helmeted hard-hat suit, the surface-supplied Fernez and hookah rigs, and finally the precision of modern open-circuit scuba.
Across Episodes 1–3, you’ll master the theory and practice of sponge harvesting: identifying species, and appropriate harvesting techniques. In Episodes 4–6, dive head-first into fully immersive VR: experience the raw thrill of skandalopetra free-dives, manage buoyancy in a classic diving suit, and navigate depths with today’s advanced scuba gear—complete with realistic underwater physics and effects, decompression stops, and tactile 6DoF feedback.
