Jeff, remember that 1995 incident in which a bunch of 
young divers went after the deep air record in the Pearse 
Resurgence, NZ, and one of them died at 70 metres on air?

The documentary they were making shows them poring over 
that very book before the dive.

In fact, in a later interview, one of the survivors stated 
it was the deep air dives done in Wakulla that 'inspired' 
them.

chilling thought, huh?
