Wow, what a stretch – despite Greece being a new work locale for me, the start of the ‘Return to Antikythera‘ expedition set in as old hat.

Read MoreAntikythera | Diving through Time
The last several months, and particularly the past couple of weeks have been nothing short of mind numbing…in hindsight, in my opinion anyway, bringing the Exosuit full online and science-mission ready has been nothing short of a monumental task in a relatively short timeframe.
