Barry took it with a digital video camera. The three are Scarabin, Irvine, Jablonski. Dive was to just under 11,000 feet, 180 bottom time on a 285 profile, 11 hours deco. We started gearing up at 6:00 am, got in at 8;00 , out at 10:00 that night. During that dive we located every tunnel off of O Tunnel all the way to Cherokee Sink, and did some detail mapping. There were two spring infeeders, one tanic, and one that looks like Leon Sinks, what we were looking for. Dive used 11 scooters, 95 cubic feet of bottom gas, about 100 cubic feet of deco gas and 150 of oxygen. We used long range lights and scooters, but everything else was the usual rig. The dive was set up the day before by getting Barry , Jess and Trout to run the drive bottles and scooters out a mile. Trout , Rose and Rat went in behind us and got that stuff back the next day - two dives back to back that were at one time considered "impossible", and were World Records when done ( Exley, Gavin and me, and we were just happy to live through it back then in 1993). Head, Tomsits, Werner, Straatsma did a 3500 to put in the safety scooters and extra bottles so that the delivery team could run our stuff while still having the required nunmber of bailout bottles and scooters while running unencumbered at top speed, kind of like if the space shuttle's fuel flew with it instead of on it, an ingenious plan devised by Trout and Sallot, flawlessly executed, per usual.
