  • Gemma Smith is grinning like a child on Christmas morning. She says it could be anything as their boat speeds past the rugged grey cliffs of Antikythera, a tiny Greek island midway between the Peloponnese and Crete. They are there to explore one of the world's most famous shipwrecks, where divers once found an ancient computer. The day before, the team discovered part of a large object buried beneath a meter of sand; now they are back to find out what it is. After years of preparation, there's a feeling that today is going to be big. Here, Marchant discusses their dive for pearls of Greek wisdom.
