Kalymnian Natural Sea Honeycomb Sponge for children's baths

Harvest
Natural sponges are fished in the traditional way of diving. Experienced divers dive into the sea at depths of 25-60 meters. At the bottom of the sea, our divers choose not only the best sponges using eco-friendly methods but also those that are fully grown, leaving smaller ones to grow, only to be harvested the following year. In this manner, they protect the watery environment which is a source of life for themselves. Our company allows only for the fishing of large sponges as the pricing is done in our exporting warehouses with quality being the strictest criterion.

Processing
After the harvest begins the processing. Once a year, usually at the end of September to the beginning of October, the boats return to the island. There the sponges are sorted by specialized and experienced personnel, usually retired sponge-divers who relive their old life through this work, their life in the depths of the seas, the life that they loved so much.
The nature of the product and the fact that no sponge is the same as any other deters the development of modern automatic methods and techniques for processing. So, everything is done by hand.
