Poor ocean. Can the diver swim instead of walking?

Why are they sold so cheap? Is their a farm raised version? I figured anything requiring paid divers would be expensive.

There is not a farm raised version in this area. The sponges harvested here are typically in 10' - 30' depths and diving isn't as complicated as it used to be. The divers use a Hookah Rig which is basically an air compressor with a long hose and a regulator to breath from. This video was shot in about 30 minutes in an area we already scouted. The bag the diver pulled up may have yielded 30-40 quality cut sponges which translates to a pretty good dive.I imagine the price is set according to the market. There is still an abundance of sponges in the gulf because of the practice of cutting to allow for regrowth, and while you may think they are cheap the natural sponge industry is competing against synthetic sponges which are much cheaper. Still, natural wool sponges are tops when it comes to quality, durability and longevity over anything synthetic.

How long will it take for the sea sponges to grow back?

A cut sponge can re-grow to its original size in about two to three years.

Yo siempre me pregunté del porque en la caricatura de spongebob squarepants existía esta esponja en el mar, si en el mar no existen tal esponjas. Pero hoy mee dado cuenta de que en realidad si existen. xD pero lo que me da risa es que en la vida real algunas mujeres usas esta esponjas en su tiempo de menstruación. Es curioso ver como una caricatura tan inocente tenga otro realismo en la vida real. Oh como se diga. xD jajajajaja! Y los niñ@s aman esta caricatura.
