Special Visitors

Today was a weather induced catch-up day, hence being a good time to thank some special guests who visited us during the last week.

Mathias Buttet, R&D Director at Hublot, visited Antikythera and presented King Power Oceanographic 4000 diving watches to our lead divers. These watches are depth rated to 4000 meters, roughly the depth of the Titanic. They are the official diving watches of the “Return to Antikythera” expedition.

Lead divers Phil Short and Alexander Sotirioiu were presented with Hublot King Power diving watches by Mathias Buttet.
