New articles have been added to the BSTD website today. In 1999 a few members of BSTD made a trip down to France to check out the caves in the Lot region. For more information regarding these beautiful caves and some very cool pictures check out the article on the website. http://www.bstd.org/gallery/france.asp Also; In July last year BSTD and UK based Phoenix Oceaneering filmed the experimental submarine M1 for the television network BBC. A documentary "Journeys to the bottom of the sea" have already been broadcasted by the BBC this spring. The M1 rests on the bottom of the English channel at 80m depth (250 feet). The submarine was one of two experimental submarines built during the final stages of world war one. She had a huge battleship gun in front of the conning tower. The M1 disappeared with all hands in the 1920ies after a presumed collision with a Swedish freight ship. The submarine was finally located for the first time last year and BSTD was contacted by BBC to produce UW pictures and to help uncover evidence of the cause of sinking. A unique aspect of the expedition was that all diving had to be done according to the HSE regulations because BBC employed the dive team. HSE requires chamber on board, diving dr and 3 point moorings etc. This is the first technical diving expedition ever done according to the tough HSE regulations. For the full story an article have been published on the site. http://www.bstd.org/gallery/m1.asp Best, Ingemar Lundgren BSTD -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
