On Dec. 25th of the Wak-Me-Too web site they said.:

"Yesterday's divers left a radio beacon in A Tunnel with a time delay (of
20 hours) which turned on today. The delay is planned for several reasons.
One is that the magnetic induction field can interfere with the divers'
rebreather and the digital wall mapper computers." 

Let me see if I've got this right.  They're not only riding hydrogen bombs
with the fat man scooters, but if the timer on the beacon is set wrong
their rebreathers go south!!!  Magnetic induction... here's a new reason
for not using electronic rebreathers that even we could not think of.

And they call what we do "Piker weekend open circuit heroics".  Give me a
break. - JT
