George, I believe the Brittanic might qualify as one of your self-defined "stupid" ocean wreck dives. Could you please provide us with the tank configuration that the WKPP team members/GUE will be using and the proposed bottom times, including contingencies for this dive. Thanks susan >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.
