Anthony, in the shot of JJ tying off with an empty reel circa 15,500 feet
into "P" Tunnel, he is also switching drive bottles for his rebreather at
the same time - more JJ magic. However, he looked like a stroke with all
that shit going on if you did not know what you are looking at. He is also
towing a scooter and an extra bottle and taking to me at the same time.
Behind the camera, I was staging my own personal clusterfuck trying to
switch bottles and get JJ another reel before he started to panic on me.

The shot of me riding is from the front by JJ with Mini Mee - I am
surveying, and JJ is scootering ahead and then turning around to video.

It all looks normal, but is three miles in at 285.
