The Mihanikos is our second diver. What started with the Avyssos, we feel obligated to continue with the Mihanikos.
The Avyssos was inspired by the minimalist approach to sponge diving encompassed in the kampanelopetra diving technique. The Mihanikos is starkly different in that it presents a story of commercialization and industrialization of the sponge diving industry, rapid introduction of new diving techniques that brought wealth but with them also pain, death and suffering to an island that had no other alternative.
Hence, the design is much more rugged, utilitarian, and pragmatic, focusing on what a sponge diver would need to wear for the exploitation of the sea floor rather than a representation of a natural diving technique. In it, the Mihanikos holds the story of generations old diving history, full of hardship and death but also courage and persistence in the face of danger; a story worth telling.
