The history of underwater diving is related back to the use of sponges. Though it is not known when exactly they became a prominent article of use, they are dated back to at least the times of the ancient Greeks. Both the writings of Homer and Plato have described their use in bathing.

It is speculated that diving for sponges is the oldest profession on the Greek island of Kalymnos. It brought development to the island on both economic and social levels.

There, a crew would set out in a small boat. A cylindrical tool with a transparent bottom was used to examine the floor of the ocean for sponges. When one was located, a diver would jump out with a skandalopetra. This was a heavy stone which was used to aid the swimmer in reaching the appropriate depths. At the bottom of the floor, he cut the sponge and returned to the surface.
