IRME is a remarkable short film, set in Turkey dealing with the perils and harsh realities of sponge diving and impacts of ecological change on the fishery. It reminds me of Luc Bissons movie the Big Blue in some ways. I wrote an in-depth overview of the film, sponge diving technology from breathhold to compressed gas, accidents and related information at the following link. There are numerous production, historical photos and links to information plus the film trailer at *** fksa.org/showthread.php?p=51461#post51461 *** Greek sponge diving may be a more familiar thing in the USA given media exposure and Tarpon Springs.
