Thanks for the info. Specifically, the video showed a guy with a single
tank and a sport diver's bc swimming to that big old dino-bone,
"discovering" it. And said that they were somewhere between 200 and 300 ffw.
I remember distinctly. That's how come I mentioned here that I think they
were "simulating" for the benefit of the viewers.
I in no way intended to detract from the expedition, or to be critical.
But the phrase "I don't think so" came to mind immediately when I saw
it.
P.S. If you ever go back and want volunteers, please don't hesitate to
drop me a line.
