Breif Report Pearse Resurgence Trip New Zealand

During January 8th thru 15th a team of three divers
Dave  Apperly, Tim Cashman and Mike Collins
dived the Pearse resurgence in the South Island
New Zealand to a depth of -125 mts and found the 
cave continues deeper and longer.

After a number of dives and installation of a habitat
for deco Dave Apperly left the end of the line at
- 125mts and + 50 mts horizontal from the previous
dives done last year by Australian divers Chriss Brown 
Grahame Elliot and David Doolette. 

The cave continues in a number of directions and also
goes deeper at the end of the line to over 160 mts.
The divers had to put up with waters temps around
6 deg C and run times of up to 134 mins to attain this
new record.

Inspiration rebreathers where used by DA and TC,
and MC used open circuit reaching a depth of 101mts. 
More details later.
