One of our favorite activities while sailing the world is Freediving. When you first start out, it’s pretty intimidating to kick your fins up, point your head down, and to just keep going deeper and deeper, as you feel the water getting colder, the increasing pressure squeezing on your chest, and the light from above slowly fading into a dim twilight.
But once you overcome your fear the reward is the sensation of absolute freedom, of weightless flight through a strange world with zero equipment. We’ve practiced freediving for years and the deepest that we’ve ever gone was 100 feet, so about the height of a ten story building. But a couple hundred years ago some of the best free divers in the world lived on the Greek island of Symi. Those divers could go as deep as 260 feet and could stay down for up to 4 minutes!
But this was a very dangerous activity, and for generations divers from Symi swam to the ocean floor and risked their lives, all in pursuit of a treasure that made their small and arid island one of the wealthiest places in the entire region. Now last week we finally sailed away from Turkey after having spent 6 months exploring that country. And with Symi being the first stop on our journey across the Mediterranean, we wanted to figure out just what treasure attracted generations of divers to risk their lives combing the sea floor. And the answer, I think, will surprise you.
