This is obviously a case of Stone misleading some of the divers who will be on the expedition. that is, if it ever happens. There is no way to get a sat chamber down into the cave that far, he talks about the entrance at 170 having a restiriction. from what I have heard the cavern walls slope back becoming a ceiling at about 130. If he does try and get it in there it will probably have some convoluted rigging apparatus the likes of typical strokery. Or worse completely damaging the cave. This is the guy who wanted to drill a 12 ft diameter hole into A tunnel. that was one for the record. This Aussie diver must be believing some of the hocus pocus that Stone has been feeding the general cave diving community as well as the media.
