An ancient Greek altar lost for over 2,000 years in a shipwreck has been rediscovered, thanks to the deep-water efforts of a Cambridge treasure hunter.
Diving instructor John Kendall was part of a six-man team working with Italian achaeologists off the coast of Siciliy when their Sonar scans discovered a trove of artefacts lodged 110 metres underwater, including pottery and ancient amphorae.
Over the course of four days he dived down to the wrecked trading ship to help recover the altar, which is believed to have originated in approximately 200 BC.
He said: "We didn't really know what we were going to find, just it was a dive site.

Students ‘like slaves in ancient Greece’
"We spotted this little pillar and so we went to investigate, and on the next dive we had a look and discovered there was a big lump of it down there.
"It was mostly buried, but we retrieved the base on the second day, which was about a foot in diameter, and three inches high."
The altar is believed to have been used for burning incense for ritual sacrifices, and is the first known example of such a device being used on a ship.
Mr Kendall said: "They've found them on land before, but never on a nautical site.
"We don't know where it's from, but there are three Greek letters engraved on its base.
"It's obviously not just a practical thing, as there is a bit of art to it as well."
He took part in the dive as part of the non-profit Global Underwater Explorers group, which was recruited for the project by the Italian government.
An experienced diver, the former Cambridge student was a member of the University Diving Club, and now spends around three months a year on foreign projects.
He said: "I have ben wreck diving in the UK for a lot of years, and have been involved in identifying lost wrecks, but this is the first time I have been involved with something no one has ever seen before."
