There were, as I remember it, four ? marks on the usdct Wakulla map, one in
each of A, B, C and D tunnels.  When actually diving in these tunnels,
these points are marked by an oversized line arrow that says "WKPP 1st
stage drop" in A and C, and "WKPP 2nd stage drop" in B and D.

Stage bottles used by the WKPP are always dropped with at least 2000 psi in
them.
