Hey Carlos,

Thanks for the info.  I'm not about to go buying a deep air book!  Heck that
might prolong the publisher from taking it out of print.  Thanks for the
info through!

Art.

		Art,

		There's an account in Bret Gilliam's "Deep Diving" (deep
air, that is)
		book.
		Read the story and then throw the book away.

		BTW, you may notice that most of the part of the book that's
about Sheck
		is ripped off from "Caverns Measureless to Man".

		Best,
		Carlos

		 Subject: Account of Sheck Exleys Death?

	







		Hi All,

		Just finished reading Sheck's book, "Caverns Measureless to
Man".  All in
		all a really good read and gives a good account as far as I
can tell as a
		non cave diver of the beginnings of cave diving.  It's
really scary reading
		all that stuff!  No disrespect but the stuff he was doing
was really nuts!
		It should not be viewed as a book to be read for what to do
when cave
		diving.  In many respects it's a book that should be read on
what NOT to
		do.
		Anyway, it mentions that he died while trying to break a
world record (deep
		helium, open scuba I assume).  Does anyone have a link to an
account of his
		death?  I've heard many stories about what happened but not
seen anything
		in
		writing.  Anyone got a link to a factual report?

		Thanks,
		Art.
