Just received this list from Zurich. Bibliography is lengthy and =
attached. Am advised this list to be printed in the new "Encylopedia of =
Technical Diving".....among others. =20
Notes indicate:
* List entries must qualify as 100 meter dives or better.
* All depths in meters and ft sea water.
* Sub "a" and sub "b"'s qualify as ties.
* Most dives on open circuit gear.
* (Lotung) ger.: references perpendicular drop.
* #1 explorer "Telenaut F" unconfirmed as French Company or=20
individual.
Because a couple of these dives included advanced decompression and a =
few more were, in part, conducted in open oceans, I thought
the list entirely appropriate and germane for inclusion in "TechDiver".
