Ken,
they even had him in the chamber (living quarters) talking about how the 4
guys would have to live, setup gear, and do the diving all from that small
space for days on end. Didn't they once talk of drilling into the cave? 
They had footage of him with his Atlantis RB and said (in typical
sensationalist journalistic fashion) he was journeying to the centre of the
earth to see if it held enough water for the world.
I know they were always going to have a chamber for dry deco but I didnt
realise they were doing sat style diving. Can any of you guys over there
confirm it.

Thanks,
Scott
