Kevin, I'll ask JJ, but I am sure he will be doing it like we always do.
This is warm , clear water as well. The current, much like here in
Florida, is in the first 0-150 feet of water. This allows pulling a
freediving float with cave line and using that as the deco marker. Once
they are decompressing, the boat is drifting with them, just like we do
it here. The float does not sink when stopped.

I think they will be examining the areas where the liner has damage from
the outside in, rather than diving through the whole ship. This will
make penetrations quick and to the point. With my scooters they can
travel the whole ship in less than ten minutes.
