Kalymnos is the world's historic sponge-diving island — the Kalymnian sponge-divers were the leading Mediterranean sponge fishery from the 19th century through the 1960s, with the local maritime community still preserving the tradition (the Sponge Festival each May, the Maritime Museum in Pothia, sponge-diving cooperatives at Vlychadia).
