Quinn,

Thanks for the info.  I contacted his office but they gave me a standard
e-mail responding FAQs.
From the info. I got in his web site and an article his office sent me, he has
done most of his Antartic diving in the McMurdo Sound area.  His reports
mention the high visibility (100 - 150ft) in Antartica due to lack of
plancton.  The people I know that dive in the Peninsula are saying the
oposite, extremely high plancton concentration.

I am hoping there is an area where there normaly is less plancton and that I
have a better chance of getting good diving and filming conditions.  It would
be a pitty to sail all the way down there and not be able to make good dives.

Thanks,
Ligia
