The vis in the last 4,000 feet was poor, so we were having a tough time finding the way , and it took a long time to check each side lead. We ended up opting to cut it off quickly back there and move back towards the door into the 14,000 - 11,000 foot stuff and recheck those leads and the flow to map out the next dive on the 29th of April. Technically we "broke" our own distance record, but it was really just a setup and recon dive for a bigger effort on the 29th. We ahd two teams exploring, one at 9,000 feet in side tunnels, and Jarrod and I at 18,000. Next time we will have that other team do leads working outward and we will do them working in from the back, and work the end. We had plenty of scooter power, the lights burned 10 hours before we turned them of, the rebreathers went 10 hours before we took them off, and the safeties are in place. We are ready for a good season. We have second rebreathers for deco if we run the first ones out. We have maxed out the deco, so the longer bottom times do not extend the deco any, and we have some seriously strong rebreather and O/C teams who are pulling very long dives effectively. Our dicsipline and trainging are clearly paying off, despite the howling critcism we get from the cave diving community. We will be exploring Leon Sinks inbetween and for the whole year as well. > -----Original Message----- > From: trey@ne*.co* [SMTP:trey@ne*.co*] > Sent: Monday, April 03, 2000 5:28 AM > To: wkpp@eg*.co*; quest@gu*.co*; techdiver > Subject: correction Re: Deco For This Weekend's Dive > > This should read 460 deco , not 470, and the bottom time should be > 6:10, > not 6:20 - the othetr ten minutes was getting down to 240, checking > the > gear, and switching from 18X40 to 10x60, flushing out the > rebreather, > etc. > > Trey wrote: > > > > Bottom Time 370 minutes ( six hours twenty minutes ).
