Richard,

I'm now very curious to know the configuration of your cylinders
for such a dive.  It sounds like we're talking a minimum of 4 tanks - 
two large cylinders at least (?) of bottom gas (were they separate
or connected with a manifold?), one fairly large cylinder of nitrox 
(what blend?) plus some amount of O2, perhaps 20-40 cu ft???

What type of dive profile/deco schedule did you follow?

Btw, Alert Diver just had an interesting article (I think it
was Alert Diver, I've been looking at too many articles lately).
